I'm going to have my boat rewired so I figured now would be a good time to add any alarms or sensors my boat doesn't have. I know I have an alarm for overheating other than that I don't know what other alarms or sensors I have. What alarms, gauges, or sensors do you consider critical on your boat?

That is very important, especially with a boat that doesn't have a big tunnel hull. I have a modified v, and if I run the Jackplate too high, the pressure gets low.

I added small LED license plate lights shining on the floor of the boat around the console. Lights up the bottom of the boat but doesn't get in your eyes. Not much draw on the battery either. Easy upgrade.

Use red LED's for lighting your boat interior and you won't mess up your night vision.
