All right folks, I'm giving more and more consideration to upgrading my sailing instruments. I currently have a Data marine offshore 3500 nav link system that runs and integrates on a NMEA 0183 network. The water speed wheel is old and worn and needs regular cleaning. The temperature indicator has failed. The anemometer is slow to respond and won't read below ~2kts. All the displays are in various states of partial functionality. Over the years I've been watching the ultrasonic wind speed senders and now I'm seeing more about electromagnetic and ultrasonic water speed senders. I'm thinking/hoping to simply have them dump data onto the N2K bus and then have the instrument displays, chartplotter, and auto-helm pick up the data for interpretation and display. I'm probably going to stick with B&G Triton displays and my chartplotter is already a B&G Zeus 3.
Does anyone have any experience with these new-ish technologies. Pros? Cons? Thanks, Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk 1989 C&C 37+ Solomons, MD
