Oh, sorry but I forgot to mention that Raymarine's SeaTalk data
network is as simple to hookup as a cabin light. There are only 3
wires....+DC, -DC(ground) and data. They couldn't make it simpler.
The GPS and Gyrocompass and other instruments on Seatalk are simply
hooked together, in parallel, wire for wire and when you power one of
them, you power all of them. I have a Raymarine connection box on a
bulkhead behind the helm where they all come together. It has
European screw terminals in it. Nothing is simpler.

You do? On your 16' jetski boat...or did you buy a bigger boat?


I've installed an extensive electronic suite in a friend's '85 Amel
Sharpi 41 ketch we sailed up from Satellite Beach, FL a few weeks ago.
We're going cruising in it soon.
