Installing Skyhawk Oversea: From Unboxing to “Alerts” in Minutes

For boat owners, peace of mind starts with knowing your vessel is safe—even when you’re not on board. Skyhawk Oversea takes monitoring to the next level with an easy-to-install system that keeps you connected to your boat 24/7. The best part? Setting it up is faster and simpler than you might think. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you from unboxing your Oversea sensors to receiving alerts in just minutes.

Step 1: Unbox and Get Familiar

When your Skyhawk Oversea system arrives, you’ll find a compact yet powerful suite of the Oversea Hub and sensors designed for every aspect of boat monitoring—bilge water, battery status, sound alerts, and more, depending on what you order for your boating needs. Take a moment to unpack and familiarize yourself with each component. Each sensor is clearly labeled, and the included quick-start guide gives an overview of where each piece fits.

Step 2: Connect the Oversea Hub

The heart of the system is the Oversea Hub, which receives signals from all your sensors and sends alerts to your phone or email. Connecting the Hub is simple:

  1. Place it on a flat surface and power it on.
  2. Follow the setup prompts on the Oversea app.
  3. Install and connect the sensors to the Oversea app as needed for your boat.

No technical expertise is needed—Oversea’s intuitive app guides you through each step.

Step 3: Place Your Sensors Strategically

Placement is key for effective monitoring. Oversea sensors are designed to be versatile and self-powered, meaning there’s no need to worry about the sensors draining your boat’s battery or wiring into your boat’s electrical system.

  • Bilge Sensor: Connect to your boat’s bilge pump to detect excessive bilge pump activity.

  • Bilge High-Water Sensor: Set the sensor’s probes inside the bilge to detect high water levels.

  • Battery Sensor: Attach it directly to your battery terminals to track voltage and overall battery health.

  • Sound Sensor: Position it near existing alarms to capture any loud or unusual sounds.

  • Entry Sensor: Place sensors on doorways and hatches to alert you of unwanted entry.

  • PIR Motion Sensor: Place the sensor in cabins and on deck to notify you of potential intruders.

  • Shore Power Sensor: Attached to your boat’s power supply via USB or plug to make sure your boat is receiving power.

Pro tip: Make sure sensors are secured and free from obstructions. Oversea sensors are compact, so they fit neatly without interfering with your boat’s normal operations.

Step 4: Customize Your Alerts

Once your sensors are connected to the Oversea App, you can customize alerts to fit your needs. Choose which notifications are most important—high water levels, low battery, or unexpected sounds. You can even set alerts for multiple users, so your monitoring team always stays in the loop.

Step 5: Test and Relax

Before leaving your boat, it’s a good idea to test your system. Trigger a sample alert to ensure the Oversea Hub and app are communicating correctly. Within seconds, you’ll see the alert appear on your device—proof that your boat is now connected, monitored, and protected.

From Unboxing to Confidence in Minutes

Skyhawk Oversea is designed to make boat monitoring simple, fast, and reliable. With self-powered sensors, intuitive setup, and alerts within seconds, you can protect your investment with minimal effort. From unboxing to receiving your first alert, Oversea ensures that peace of mind is just minutes away.
