The Victron SmartShunt is an extremely useful instrument to have on board. The Bluetooth connection makes monitoring easy, eliminating the need for a separate digital screen while allowing easy monitoring through the Victron app on a phone or tablet. Installation required some electrical configuration study on my Bavaria 36 to properly connect both the household and starter batteries. However, with a single additional16mm² battery cable, the setup was straightforward. Once installed, its incredibly easy to track amp draw from each appliance, giving a clear picture of power consumption. As expected from Victron, the build quality is excellent, and it delivers reliable and accurate readings. For anyone serious about battery management, the SmartShunt is a must-have. Highly recommended!

I purchased the Mooring Hook for Deck as a backup tool to keep on board in case I ever need to moor to a buoy. Since I dont regularly use mooring buoys, I was looking for a budget-friendly option, and this product fits that need. One advantage is that I could easily attach it to a high-quality aluminum broomstick, making it a functional and affordable solution. It does the job, but Im not entirely confident in its long-term durability for repeated use. If you need a mooring hook for occasional use or emergencies, this is a decent choice. However, for regular mooring, Id recommend investing in a higher-end hook with better materials and construction. Overall, its a cheap and functional option that serves as a good backup, but not necessarily the best for frequent use.
