Smac, I have since learned that they are Tack-Tick instruments which Raymarine bought out and re-badged. I have also learned that by using
NMEA I should be able to connect them to a plotter but have got no farther than that.
If anyone has positive or negative experience with the
NMEA to plotter experience I would love to hear it. There is a pilot on the boat but I am not so concerned with connecting it to the plotter as I am having the other data on the plotter to use when plotting courses. I am not sure if my experience will be different given that there is no binnacle so the plotter will be somewhere not in such direct eyeline as I am used to.
On an arm in the
companionway is one option that I would like input on as well. She does have a big
cockpit so my old eyes would be a long way from that location...
