On Scuttlebutt currently is a thread concerning instrumentation on yachts. It's a fairly abstract notion for me, as Stakkr does have a compass and an echo-sounder, as well as Navionics on a tablet, but nothing else. Am I correct in believing that this is quite the norm on more elderly yachts, or do owners tend to 'gear up' their boats to wind speed and direction, COG and SOG always in vision from both sides of the cockpit and so on?
For the engine, I've got a light for the alternator, but haven't yet fitted an engine temperature gauge, which I am having to monitor 'manually', which I do admit, isn't the best option, but no less than on an outboard.
