More Electronics????
Who here has more electronics installed on their boat than me... Knotmeter, Depthsounder, Radar, VHF, 9 inch TV....ummmm....sodering iron. Can I count my stuff that I travel with, cuz then I could include my handheld GPS, nightvision and walkman. Anyone got a computer aboard. Pretty common, but I don't have one. Anyone have a chartplotter? Not me. Anyone have a fully functional guage pack? Not me. Part of mine died and I don't care to fix it. Somehow Spirt thinks I represent some techie boater's wet dream. He might want to have a look on the average new boat and see what people carry. RB |

I have none of these things. No even a depth finder.
Tha's probably why I run aground constantly! Seriously, none of that stuff is impressive. If you want to impress someone, you'll need Ockam instruments. http://www.ockam.com/ Bobsprit wrote Who here has more electronics installed on their boat than me...

I also have GPS, and a computer with a built in DVD player. Also full
stereo sound, and a CD player. The atomic clock stopped, so I can't count it until it's fixed. My friend had an atomic clock on his boat. He dropped it and the case cracked. It leaked and now he can't re-board his boat for 500'000 years. RB |

I have a full set of Raytheon instruments.
Wind, tridata, depth, knotmeter, compass (yes, the fluxgate compass sensor), countdown timer, and more. It even tells me the water temperature in fahrenheit and celsius. The compass reads in true or magnetic. The wind instruments read in true or apparent. Standard stuff. The Raytheon instruments won't tell you: • Magnetic Wind Direction • Opposite Tack/Jibe Calculations • Heel Angle Bearing Distance Heel Angle Heading Opposite Heading Predicted Speed Smart Speed Steer Angle Target Boat Speed True Wind Direction Velocity Made Good • Estimated Time of Arrival • Cross Tack Error • Mag Bearing Waypoint to • Waypoint • Drift • Battery Voltage • Magnetic Course Over Ground • Speed Over Ground • Derived Magnetic Variation • Fix Time Heading Battery Voltage Time to Waypoint vmg Cross Track Error True Course Over Water Magnetic Course Over Water Waypoint Latitude Waypoint Longitude True Bearing Magnetic Bearing Range Date True Bearing Wpt-to-Wpt Magnetic Bearing Wpt-to-Wpt Universal Time Coordinate From Waypoint True Set Magnetic Set Drift True Course Over Ground Magnetic Course Over Ground Speed Over Ground Radius True Heading Magnetic Heading Derived Magnetic Variation Magnetic Variation S/V Express 30 "Ringmaster" "No shirt, no skirt, full service" |

RB I plan on getting the atomic clock fixed, getting some atomic fuel, and an atomic detonator, and using it on enemies of the United States. Paris, perhaps? Pathetic Earthlings!
