Just a quick update as so many folks here have been helpful in this project.
The electronics upgrade continues and we’ve now completed the second milestone.
We got the new instruments in last fall (ugly project) and just today
completed the chart plotter installation at the helm. Hats off to
John — which a Series plotter have you got? The 7” variants do NOT have
NMEA0183 on them, which you’ll need for the B&G pilot. The larger a Series
variants do have NMEA0183 on them.
As far as the extent of talking to each other, it’s going to be a one-way
conversation; the MFD will output bea
Thanks Fred. It is a 9” plotter for that very reason. It is connected to wind.
I’m not even thinking about steering to a waypoint - I just want a rudder angle
display on the plotter!
So I should not expect any input from the AP?

John — you’ll have to check whatever documentation you can find on the B&G, and
see if it: #1 — even has an NMEA0183 output; and #2 — can output the “RSA”
(rudder sensor angle) sentence.
Usually, NMEA0183 implementation on older autopilots is limited to input of
NMEA0183 sentences having to do
Thanks. Just knowing “RSA” is a help! Will let you know what I find out and
how it all goes.

Thanks again Fred. I don’t think I’ll be able to do what I was hoping. Bellow
is a summary from the B&G manual. It’s a circa 1999 H1000 system. I was just
going to connect the wires and see what data is available - maybe I have a
newer version than detailed below (don’t crush my dreams!). Al
Hello there. I was just wondering if any of the C&C 36 owners could send me

Best lifeline netting I’ve seen was on a boat in the marina I manage. Made from
the material used for backstop netting in baseball diamonds, by a company whose
primary business was sports backstops. Order a kit by size needed, and IIRC
cost a bit over $100 to do a Morgan OI41.
