    How to secure stuff behind the electrical / breaker panel

    I am finally getting around to installing my AIS (well, more motivated as my local race organization now requires AIS; I have been delayed by the hassles of the tiny wires (have seen Christian's post re: those; thanks for that!) and the need for the NMEA 2000 backbone/trunk line adding...

    E381 Internet-Accessible Boat Telemetry & DIY Shipboard Electronics

    On adding modern telemetry to old boats. It’s raining buckets in the San Juan Islands right now. Not so in my garden in San Francisco, where rain would be welcomed like a visiting dignitary. But from where I sit, I can see both wan California winter sunlight and that the bilge pump in S/V...

    E380 Networking Navigation Upgrade

    My boat came with mixture of older Raymarine ST60+ Wind, Speed, and Depth instruments at the helm networked via Raymarine SeaTalk to the C80 MFD chartploteer and the SPX 10 autopilot as well as an original B&G Multi Data instrument display at the nav desk that was no longer networked. A new...

    E32-200 AIS generally, Raymarine AIS700 specifically

    Summary: AIS transceivers are good - try to buy a 5 watt one. The Raymarine AIS700 will not, on its own, publish GPS location information to a Raymarine SeatalkNG network, and so any AIS avoidance alarms on the Raymarine SeatalkNG/NMEA 2000 network require an independent GPS input in addition...

    Navigation light relocation

    Being Seen: Navigation Lights, AIS, and Radar Reflectors It's been a couple of months since I experienced a very lively weekend at anchor, during which I managed to get caught with my pants down in 45+ knots and dragged out to sea. Since I wish never to experience that feeling again I picked up...

    AIS or Radar for a coastal cruise?

    Lately I have been going back and forth on installing a radar in my 32 for a five-week cruise to Catalina and back with stops in between that I will be leaving for at the end of June. Latitude ran a piece on AIS a few months ago, and many people wrote extolling the virtues of this technology--a...

    Amybody using MARPA, AIS

    I sent some time on a 165' research vessel this November in the fog. Anybody using ARPA/MARPA or AIS? And along those lines which charting software do you (With arpa, ais) do you use. I'm still with OSN and was looking at rosepoint/chart navigator pro and RNS. -Regards, Ethan
