Glomex ZigBoat™ Starter Kit System - Gateway, Battery, Door/Porthold & Flood Sensor

The Glomex ZigBoat™ Starter Kit System is the foundation of modern boat connectivity and safety monitoring, built for anglers and cruisers who demand reliable onboard diagnostics without complex wiring. This all-in-one gateway system integrates a battery-backed hub, door/porthole sensor, and flood detection capability—essential tools for protecting your vessel whether you're running offshore or anchored overnight in remote anchorages. After years on the water, serious boaters know that early warning systems prevent catastrophic damage and costly emergency calls.

At the heart of the ZigBoat system is a wireless gateway that communicates with distributed sensors via secure, low-power protocol—eliminating the need for hardwired runs through cabin walls and engine compartments. The included battery ensures the gateway remains active during power loss, a critical feature when bilge pumps or collision alarms must function independently of shore power or alternator output. The door/porthold sensor detects unwanted entry or creeping water ingress, while the integrated flood sensor monitors below-deck areas prone to seepage, condensation, or pump failures. Weighing just 1.65 lbs and measuring 26 inches, the compact form factor fits easily in galley cabinets, lazarettes, or helm stations without occupying valuable real estate.

This starter kit is ideal for vessel owners transitioning from manual inspection routines to continuous, automated monitoring—especially those with aging hulls, complex cabin layouts, or extended time away from the dock. The system scales with your needs; additional sensors can be added to monitor engine spaces, fuel tanks, or cabin compartments as your vessel grows. Installation requires no specialized marine electrician; the wireless design and included porthold mount bracket make deployment straightforward on fiberglass, aluminum, or wooden hulls. Boaters running tight schedules, cruising extended coastlines, or managing rental/charter fleets benefit most from the peace of mind this kit delivers.
