Hey all. This is my Waterworld 10.0i electric propulsion in my 38’ C&C37 Sailboat. It was my first install, and space is very tight. It was prettier earlier and it keeps getting more crowded as I have added things like the cerbo. Some of these pictures are a little old.
The entire system consists of the following: Lynx Distributor, 1000a Smart Shunt(48v), SmartSolar 150/45 wired to the Lynx - Solar Panels are EcoFlow 500W bifacial; 48-12V DC-DC Orion 20amp charge-converter, BMV-712 with display, and a Multipluss II 48v/3000w charger inverter. Battery bank is made up of 8 - Vatrer - 12.8-300 mini batteries wired in two banks to make a total of 30KW of storage. Plus the 200ah on the 12.8v side. I plugged it all into a cerbo and plugged in the Starlink mini so it is online all the time. I’m quite happy with what I did to my boat. Some of this victron stuff isn’t how I want.
In this system, the 48v bank is the heart of the system. It feeds the electric motor and the inverter for the boat. All 48v stuff is run through the lynx and measured by the 1000a Smart Shunt. The smart solar has a ve.direct and it plugs into the cerbo to show the input from solar. The Multipluss II is plugged in via the networking cable. The BMV-712 display is installed in my electronics cabinet, and I bought a ve.direct cable to plug it into the cerbo as well.
Problem 1: BMV-712 is plugged into the cerbo via a ve.direct cable. It will not show up even after many restarts/reboots. Is there a trick to getting it to show as a device?
Problem 2; The 48v-12v DC-DC Converter Charger - 20A does not have a ve.direct plug. The 30 amp does… didn’t know that when I bought the 20 amp. So this device has Bluetooth, but is otherwise not able to talk to the cerbo. This is highly disappointing.
Does anyone know if the CERBO has a visualization which can show both the 48v input/output as well as the relationship to the 12v input/output (the only input is the victron 48-12v dc-dc device)
