Re: New (to me) Sailboat upgrades
I guess this is the part I cant seem to find documented. I need a USB to serial adapter and then out from the serial into a NMEA bus?
Has anyone created a 'shopping' list for these parts?
Thanks!

Re: Casual New Purchase Inspection Question - Bilge
Thanks! Just unusual (to me) to see such dark 'muck' with a seemingly clean bilge. Either way, if we continue to look at it will do our due diligence.
Thanks for the reply!
