    Hola Fernando,
    Thank you for your message. I don't know if you can find what you need in Brazil, perhaps if you cruise up to Panama, you can find the electronics you need at a price that will not be robbery. What you can do with regards to having 2 stations, is put the electronics inside the cabin and have slave monitors on the fly bridge. That is something I am looking to do on my troller. I have a pit on the stern where I catch my fish and I cannot monitor the engine or the navigation from there, so I am planning on putting a water proof monitor in the back where I am working so I can keep a better eye on things. I am currently working on a vessel chartered to Exxon/Mobil over in Nigeria, I perform rig tending and tanker towing. All the best.

    Dear Captain 58:
    I can see that you work in the oilfield. Me too. I am in Venezuela and have been a directional driller for 31 years now. I was born in Luanda and lived in Cabinda until I was 17. My dad worked for Gulf/Chevron for 37 years in Malongo. The world is small indeed.
    Anyway, thank you for your contribuition to my thread about electronics. As I live in Brasil, I am subject only to Garmin old products and Raymarine costing 3 times as much as in USA. So I am looking to use Furuno or Simrad. My boat is a Trawler and I will try to have a simple, but decent set of electronics including a radar. The only issue that I have yet to figure out is about the Simrad NX40/45. I wonder if they can build up an integrated system to be used in two different command stations; Fly and Saloon. But I'll found out one way or the other. Simrad in Brazil was asked about it 3 months ago and up to now they haven't given me an answer...Thank you again!

    Fernando
