Digital Yacht BILGE IQ

Does anyone have more information on the digital Yacht bill IQ? They stated that it will work with a cerbo GX and interface with a Raymarine MFD

Hi BilgeIQ has not been officially released yet, but we have been working with Victron to ensure that a future Cerbo GX firmware will support BilgeIQ showing the status of the Bilge pump and providing the ability to manually test/switch on the Bilge pump from the Cerbo interface.

BilgeIQ will also work with any MFD that supports digital switching, which the latest Raymarine models do and with its NMEA 2000 Alerts, it will integrate very well with Garmin MFDs - displaying bilge pump related Alerts on the Garmin screen. Not sure if any of the other MFD manufacturers support NMEA 2000 Alerts yet, but it will soon become mandatory on new MFD models that want to pass NMEA 2000 certification.

BilgeIQ should start to ship during Q1/2026, so there will soon be plenty of info online about it.

Thanks for the update.
