The GasMinder - Finally a simple practical upgrade for propane safety on boats

As a long-time liveaboard, I know firsthand the importance of propane safety on boats. Besides enjoying the liveaboard life, I'm also an engineer who loves to cook. That's why I designed the GasMinder - a helpful little device that replaces the basic propane solenoid switch found on most boats.

The GasMinder features an intuitive user interface that includes a quick double-beep audible reminder every 20 minutes while the switch is on, as well as a slow-pulsing amber "PROPANE" indicator to calmly warn of a heightened state of hazard. The physical switch-guard also helps prevent accidental on/off.

The GasMinder is designed to greatly reduce the possibility of a propane leak accumulating to become a hazard, giving boaters peace of mind while under way or at the dock. I designed it for our boat, based on decades of experience, and the result is so excellent I know other boaters will like it too. Ours is installed... and it's wonderful! I would bet the GasMinder will soon become an essential safety device for anyone who uses propane on their boat. I'm confident that once you try the GasMinder, you'll never want to cruise without it. There are certain pieces of equipment that make such a difference, you want to have on every boat: this is one of them.

We are currently running an IndieGoGo campaign to fund the production of the GasMinder. We invite you, encourage you, to check out our campaign page and consider supporting us.

The GasMinder is a practical, elegant, affordable, and easy galley upgrade; it's a way to protect your family, your crew, and your vessel. So why not invest in peace of mind and support the GasMinder IndieGoGo campaign today?
