Frequently Asked Questions
Victron for Boats Frequently Asked Questions
Q. Do I need an isolation transformer or a galvanic isolator?
Both protect your underwater metals from galvanic corrosion on shore power. A galvanic isolator is the simpler, lower-cost option. An isolation transformer fully separates your boat from the shore ground and also protects against shore-side wiring faults, which makes it the better choice for boats that spend long periods plugged in.
Q. Can I charge lithium batteries from my boat's alternator?
Yes, through a DC-DC charger such as the Orion XS or Orion-Tr Smart. It gives the lithium bank the right charge profile and keeps the alternator from being overworked.
Q. Can I see my Victron system on my chartplotter?
Yes. A Cerbo GX connected to your NMEA 2000 network with the VE.Can to NMEA 2000 cable can send battery, solar and inverter data to compatible chartplotters.
Q. Where can I buy Victron marine products in Canada?
The Harbour Chandler in Nanaimo, BC carries Victron chargers, inverters, batteries and monitoring for boats and ships across Canada. Ask the Pros if you need help planning your system.

Hootchie of the Week!
Got this beautiful green beast, and used it on a low light/overcast day. With a pinched barb, the hootchie took about thirty five minutes to get into the groove, then got our first few hits! Excelent for a NON-retention Linga!
