I installed the Garmin wind, depth and a GPS receiver two years ago. We turned
the power on and much to my amazement, everything worked. I had imagined hours
calibrating and on the phone with their tech support.My only caution is to make
sure the cups on the anemometer are on securely. I thought they were but the
second time out, there was not wind data, looked up, no cups so it was up the
mast to install new cups. you push them on until they feel secure, then push
again. there is a wire clip that needs to lock the cups onto the head unit.

{}#yiv5847862743 +1 Garmin. Garmin still leads with PGN coverage, ease of
use, functionality and you don’t need to buy additional little black boxes to
tie in other components. I plugged in a B&G display and it all just worked.

Subject: Stus-List New Instruments When I bought Pegathy, I got a Garmin 421s
chartplotter. It was small enough to be unobtrusive and had as many (maybe
more) pixels than the larger screens. It will display any combination of up to
4 (I think) instruments on the NMEA 2000 bus on a ribbon on the chart screen.
The next year, I bought a gmi10 package with a masthead anemometer, temperature
and pressure sensor and a depth and water temp sensor. The gmi 10 will display
up to 4 instruments at once in user defined formats with user defined alarm
limits for each. It also allows you to create a bunch of custom combinations
which can be stored and accessed with the push of a button, or maybe a few
pushes if you define a bunch of screens. There are other good features as well.
Replaced four instrument heads with one. Works for me, except that I had to
cover the holes. It's backed up by the chart plotter, so I'm more comfortable
with having a single head. Just bought a Lowrance NMEA 2000 VHF/AIS receiver
which is supposed to communicate with the chartplotter. Haven't tried it yet.
