My boat is coming out of storage this weekend and I'll hopefully have time to install the VesselView mobile system.

I've compiled all the parts I *think* I need.

Namely:

  • VesselView Mobile Module
  • Terminator Resister (told it should have come with my motor)
  • Interface (in my case, I'm planning to use an old phone, a Nexus 5) - pictured
  • Mount, I've purchased a RAM X-Grip with adhesive base, I'm hoping I can nest the mount slightly under the windscreen as the phone will not be waterproofed
  • Power cable, as I intend to run the phone at full brightness
    • Consisting of Cigarette lighter transformer (5v) - I decided to go this route to start as I understand that transformers are continuous power draws and I did not want to add a switch for the phone charger - this may change as I want the installation to be as clean as possible
    • USB to Micro USB for phone charging



I'll populate this with further pictures as the install is completed (mostly plug and play) but the teaser is below - Unfortunately the app at this time is portrait orientation only. I hope they decide to revisit that decision as in my use I feel landscape would be better for viewing and easier to fit.
