Digital Yacht just launched their new Bilge iQ product at the 2025 NMEA Expo in Florida. This is the global marine industry’s event for showing new products and technology and Bilge iQ was well received – in fact, it was awarded best new product for the 2025 event.
Here’s a quick “sneak peek” on its capabilities. More details will be on DY’s websites shortly and deliveries should commence Q4
A humble electric bilge pump is installed on just about every boat but boat owners don’t know much about its operation and run times – or even if it is still functional. Bilge iQ from Digital Yacht aims to change this and brings the latest NMEA 2000 and Wi-Fi monitoring plus switching control technology to any electric bilge pump.
Bilge iQ integrates with NMEA 2000 and Victron networks for complete bilge pump management.
Bilge iQ fits in minutes to existing systems which may incorporate a standard ON-OFF-AUTO panel (with an integrated float switch) or to any manual system.
It also connects to the boat’s NMEA 2000 network so the multi function display can use a standard switching command to turn the pump on and off and also display the pump’s status or fault based on an industry standard NMEA 2000 pop up alert. It also integrates with Victron’s Cerbo GX systems and VRM cloud monitoring solution.
Plus! It has a wireless interface enabling a phone or tablet to connect and display a history of pump operations. Actual current draw of the pump is also displayed in real time to show the pump is operating correctly. Standard alerts allow for remote monitoring too.
Built-in Web Interface

Make for a better boating environment too
You can add a 3rd party bilge water discharge filter to your system to ensure oil, debris and contaminants are not discharged over-board.
The filters require periodic replacement for correct operation. Bilge iQ provides the boat owner with accurate pump run time data to allow economic and periodic filter replacement.
