Why don't you buy two serial to blue tooth adapters (cable replacement) from
Aircable, set them to 38400 baud for transmission of AIS data to your chart
plotter. Keep your AIS receiver with VHF antenna connection inside and chart
plotter in cockpit. The small bt-module is easy to water-proof for use in
the cockpit.

Anybody knows one? I am using a non portable solution: SR161 + Laptop
+ GpsMap 276C. I would like to have a gps/plotter portable (or
handheld), WeatherProof and useable in the cockpit. I have asked
Garmin to give the AIS receiver supprt on the GpsMap 276C but after
waiting 2 years I have quit.

Thanks
