Glomex ZigBoat™ Flood Sensor

The Glomex ZigBoat™ Flood Sensor is an essential early-warning device for boat owners who understand that water intrusion can escalate from minor annoyance to catastrophic damage in hours. Whether you're running a cabin cruiser, sportfish, or displacement hull, bilge flooding represents one of the most insidious threats to vessel integrity and safety. This compact sensor detects standing water before it compromises structural components, engine systems, or interior finishes, giving you time to locate and address the source.

The ZigBoat™ employs a moisture-detection mechanism designed to trigger alerts when water levels rise in bilge compartments, engine rooms, or other vulnerable areas where seepage commonly accumulates. Engineered by Glomex Marine Antennas, a trusted name in marine electronics, this sensor integrates seamlessly into modern monitoring systems and boat automation networks. Its compact 6 x 3 x 11-inch profile and lightweight 0.4 lb construction allow flexible installation in tight spaces—under cabin sole, behind panels, or within machinery voids—without adding weight or complexity to your vessel.

This flood sensor is indispensable for cruisers who spend extended time away from the dock and for owners of vessels with history of minor weeping—the kind that goes unnoticed until structural rot sets in. Weekend warriors, charter operators, and long-distance cruisers benefit most from continuous bilge monitoring, particularly in rough seas or during layup periods when your boat cannot be visually inspected daily. Installation is straightforward; position the sensor in your lowest bilge sump or designated monitoring zone and connect it to your boat's marine electronics hub or dedicated alarm system for real-time alerts via display or notification.
