BoatHowTo レビュー 

I have more than 20 years of experience designing AC systems in buildings, and I was surprised by how much DC systems differ from AC systems. Knowledge, shared by Nigel and Jan, is elementary to understand and deep enough to be able to design and install your own system on a boat. They also share the most common mistakes you can find in a boat's electrical system, especially with new LiFePo4 batteries, and inox washers and nuts in a conductor path. Additionally, they highlight issues such as using too big fuses for the given cable or an undersized cable for a given consumer. There is also an emphasis on following standards and rules, which results in a safe and long-lasting installation. As a result of that knowledge, I was able to redesign and reinstall the electrical system on my own boat. I highly recommend it to everyone, including experts.

I am so amazed by this new course concept and its implementation: The professional contents paired with breath taking illustrations and an easy to understand explanation. The combination of Jans and Nigels expertise, adding competences to each other and forming a perfect training package, prepared with a lot of effort, is really unique in the marine world. Even my wife started to participate in the courses to understand electrics better, although she had no clue about it before. For me as engineer and trained hobby electrician the basics were not boring but quickly added a lot expertise of how to design and install el. systems and especially of what the critical issues are to take care of on an existing yacht. The price of the course is certainly justified for the added value it brings, which many amateur YouTube videos will never achieve.

Lessons are meticulously prepared and researched. The 3D modeling of the engine parts and visual aides presented in the videos are very well done. Everything is very well explained and also goes into depth - so comprehensible and interesting to both novices and experts alike. Highly recommended!

Congratulations on preparing a really well thought out course. Your videos were well produced and I love that you produced them on your boat! The written chapter notes matched and supplemented the videos and your questions on the quizzes were a good review to make sure that the learning has settled into usable knowledge.
I read through the ABYC Marine Electrical Certification and was pleased at the alignment of the ABYC course material and Electronics 101-it pleased me to note the consistency.
I now know what I need to know as the lead rigger at Atlantic Boat Company to be able to connect and disconnect mast wiring.
Thank you again for a well done course that was a pleasure to take!

For my boat project I installed a 2kW solar system with 16kW LiFePO4 battery and a 5k inverter. I learned all the details on how to do this, what to look for, best practices etc. from BoatHowTo. All the information and much more is in one place in easily digestible chapters, often with animation and supporting media. I had three certified electricians look over my installation over a period of a year and every one was impressed by the design and implementation. The quality of the courses speak for itself.

Excellent Electrics Course - The course gives very understandable description of the electronics as well as practical how tos for implementation and testing. I highly recommend these courses.

I already knew quite a bit about boat electrics. But I wanted to deepen my knowledge, understand even better the 'why' behind best practises, understand the ISO standards and the reasoning.
BoatHowTo delivered exactly that. It gave outstanding value. I got super valuable knowledge and background information. Their online response to questions is of great value as well.
After the training I confidently undertook a large LiFePo4 upgrade and rewiring on m boat.
Absolutel recommend BoatHowTo .. simple the best source of knowledge on these topics!

For anyone doing DIY electrical on their boat, this knowledge is a must for safety. I learned many things I was doing wrong, even though I have some experience. Videos are comprehensive and clear. Knowledge of presenters is outstanding. Technology is easy to use.

I home built my electric inboard powered 25’ sailboat over the past 4 years. When it came time to figure out the electrics for the boat I found Nigel and his new Boat How To site. I learned how to lay out buss bars, wire size and what fuse protection, switching and batteries. At the end of the course I learned how to use internet tools to do a full schematic. Excellent course!

Incredibly thorough and clearly presented course. Highly recommend!!!

The courses are even better than I could have expected. I've learned a lot, very quickly. They do a great job explaining things in a simple to understand manner.

I have signed up for all of their classes and have learned more from them than I picked up in 30+ years of sailing and reading instructional books, and they are fun to watch. Highly recommended.

Great course that got me confidently working on my boats electrics.

Very clear concise information presented in a logical way.

I learned a lot in this course and it will guide me in designing and installing a Victron inverter system in my boat

I purchased the Boat Electrics 101 course and then the Diesel Engine course. I'm a long time boater, but not a systems expert. Both courses were well done, easy to follow and understand. Its also pretty easy to go back and find particular things I want to review before some project I was working on. Overall it was good value for the cost.

This course is the single most beneficial investment I have made in my boating. The courses are clearly organized and presented. It is logical and practical. Nigel’s practical experience adds value and insight, helping me gain from his first hand experiences and knowledge. If you are like me and want to gain knowledge in safely maintaining and troubleshooting your vessel, you cant go wrong with BoatHowTo.

Expert advice
Ive been following Nigel Calder for decades, since he wrote the 12v bible. Jan is excellent at delivering the talks but you have to keep up, he goes quickly.

I followed both the Boat Electrical 101 and the advanced. Being a technical person and a sailboat owner for over 25 years it helped me to get a better understanding of underlying details of the electrical system on a boat and therefore being able to understand and implement/alter such a system on my boat with a higher level of safety and reliability.

Love the online trainings and clarity. Great job with the course structure guys.
Thank you!
