I have Ray
seatalk ng
equipment mostly, Speed thru
water,
wind,
Depth. My present
Autopilot a 2002 Coursemaster 850i, has
Fluxgate,
Rudder, a rate gyro.
My frustration is I would really like to see
wind vector on my E7 Plotter, but it appears that my AP doesn't speak the
nmea sentence req'd by the Ray E7 presumably, so I can neither set my AP to wind or see true or apparent wind, my AP does take WP and
GPS coordinates from Ray.
According to Coursemaster I need to upgrade my Coursemaster AP about 3 Boatbucks. From Ray about 4 boatbucks and I will get one of those new evo200, my existing Linear
Motor is a type 1.
I lean towards Evo, but not now, is there another solution to get heading info economically. What instrument. TIA
