SeaTalk Instruments are normally installed in the cockpit or wheelhouse of your vessel.
The built in alarms are not loud enough to be heard by the crew inside a vessel or to wake
up sleeping crew members.
So even with anchor alarm activated, it is not sure that the crew will wake up if the anchor
is dragging.
Single handed skippers often get too little sleep and need a loud warning if depth,
windspeed or radar indicates a dangerous situation. They usually also want to be waked
up every half hour or hour in order to check if everything is allright.
It's easy to miss an instrument beep while sitting on the chart table while the engine is
running.
It's easy to miss a radar beep, when the radar is mounted at the chart table and you are
at the helm.
If an instrument should break, without the SeaNet-Alarm it might take a long time before
the failure is noticed. Maybe the boat operator would rely on a device that that isn't
functioning any more.
