    Hi Brian, replied over e-mail but I suspect Venus 3.63 upgrade will not help as Signal K configuration is persisted across upgrades. There is no harm to try though.

    @admin Hi Admin, today I was able to go out by boat and I was able to verify that in the trip the number of engine hours was not recorded and I don't understand why, the RPMs are recorded as long as the engine is running of course and instead the pre-engines are not

    Hi @Andrea unfortunately no, all custom monitoring values are displayed in the same format like the second one. The latter one is specialized for reporting the house/main battery.

    Hi @jimholthaus, moorage name lookup in Saillogger is a multi-layer process. It uses four to five different types of logic to identify a moorage name, which can come from GIS sources, community-added moorages, or external references like Wikipedia.

    Moorages are created automatically, but once they exist, renaming them is straightforward as Kevin mentioned. Please let us know if you’d like any help with that.

    Hello John, That’s a good catch, I’m not the developer but I’m assuming that that was the most intuitive direction when he developed it. I’m guessing he’ll comment on this if need be. Thanks, Kevin.

    Thank you for the magic. I have now activated the Windy reporting option and will monitor the data on Windy to confirm all is as expected.

    Cheers, Bill on SV Denali Rose

    Thank you very much. Sadly we moved since Saillogger went down and I updated it. The .GPX track was to fill in our transit from when it went down and our new location where I brought it back up. Not the end of the world. Glad to have our beloved Saillogger back up and running!

    Glad to hear you sorted it out! For future reference, it may take up to an hour for new data keys to show up in Saillogger. This is only applicable for the initial configuration, once done data flows in regular one minute intervals.

  • Is it possible to correct a log?

    This was resolved in a different thread. Upgrading to the latest Victron firmware and installing Saillogger plugin 4.2.1 or later will work.

    Hmm, spotty access point should not cause this. It is almost always due to GPS. Please keep monitoring and let us know if you observe anything else that is unusual.

    Ok, please try two things:

    Check the interface name on Signal K for the CAN interface, if it is can0 or vecan0, please try vecan1. Make sure to restart it after you make a change. See if you can connect it to first port (even temporarily) and if it makes any difference.

    Independently, the first port is galvanically isolated, the second one is not. For NMEA connection, Victron's strong recommendation is to use the first port.

    Is Victron GX connected to NMEA 2000? You need a special cable for that (you could also make your own, see this article)

    If you verified the connection, make sure your GPS source is turned on (it might be the chartplotter).

    When everything is working you should be able to go to Signal K Data Browser and search for navigation.position and it should show your current position.

    If you haven't already, do check this tutorial, it explains though:
