Richard, Sorry to hear of your news but glad that you and SWMBO and your yacht are OK and that there is little damage to the yacht, although a closer inspection in daylight with a keen eye inside and out may be prudent. As I am sure you know, a 45ft yacht being driven onto you by 20 kts of...

In my experience there is little in it but as I had the Bad Elf and it has the data logging option too, I can log my passage then overlay it onto a chart easily. I agree with you about the 276C, in my view one of the best bits of kit they sold. if you ever do find a way to update the charts...

I have an iPad Pro (new 12.9 inch model) with Navionics and Imray apps talking to my Vesper Marine XB-8000 over WiFi. I use a Joy Factory articulated arm and iPad holder, a tad expensive but very good. I went down this route because traditional 'marine' chart plotters do not offer flat...

Folks, Thanks for your feedback and the references to other material, it is appreciated. You have answered my question which is that whilst the ST60 might accept and display some NMEA data input to it on the NMEA In port, it doesn't combine them with the "SeaTalk" generated data and then...

I am hoping there may be a Raymarine ST60 guru out there in this forum who can answer a question. My ST60 Multi display has NMEA IN and NMEA OUT. Can anyone tell me whether or not the NMEA OUT sentences are a combination of the NMEA sentences going into the unit with their own internally...

+1 in fact +100

That is what I am investigating at present. The key is to find a plastic that is UV / weather resistant :)

Thanks for the recommendation and feedback Paul, I have a Vesper Marine WiFi AIS and am using the WiFi option for AIS itself. I was hoping to use the GPS data from the AIS unit to feed position information onto the NMEA 0183 bus which connects to my DSC radio, my ST60 instruments and the data...

Can anyone recommend a multiplexer or similar that will accept a NMEA 0183 input at 38400 baud (and ideally at least one other at 4800 baud) and output to 4800 baud with sufficient power to feed three devices? Thanks

I have a Raymarine E52034 7" RL70C display unit (working) for sale as I am upgrading my onboard electronics. I also have the M9265 24" Radome and mast mounting bracket if interested. I am open to sensible and reasonable offers for them to go to a good home, individually or together. Please...

Lazy line priority :)

LIBS attendance has been declining year on year since it moved to Excel (apart from the first year). It would be interesting to know what it was this year and whether attendance increased as a result of the RYA giving free tickets to their members

I can't find the OP who recommended trying Russell Rennison for joinery work, but thanks a lot. Russell has just done some bespoke teak work for me and has done a fantastic job from a few sketches I scanned and emailed to him. It is very high quality work and reasonably priced too, so...

Thanks everybody, that has been very helpful indeed, a set of running lights just ordered and on its way to me as we speak.
