A thermal camera is not something you necessarily think of as a yacht tool but we've found having one aboard invaluable. Being able to detect the temperature of various parts of our system has helped us troubleshoot faults, find the source of problems, and identify and monitor possible failures. That includes;

• Hotspots in the electrical system

• Plumbing leaks

• Overheating components in an electronic or mechanical device

• Engine and alternator temperature monitoring

• Gaps in insulation or air-conditioning ducting

• Finding areas impacted by radiating heat from appliances like the oven

• Water temperature

We've had our Bosch Thermal camera since 2021 when it was used during the handover of our 2021 Leopard 45 to identify warranty issues which could then be lodged for rectification. It runs off the same 12V batteries as our Bosch torch and so far we've not had any issues with performance. Our model has a few different features.

• Large colour display

• Temperature readings update almost instantly

• Freezes the image when you pull the trigger

• Store and export captured images

• Rated IP53
