What is the panels view on rudder position indicators?
When we spec’d Hunros I couldn't see the point nor justify spending £1000 on a VP position indicator so left it off the list. Having just spent the last week on the boat there were a few times when close to other boats I could have done with a quick, visable method of knowing which way the drives were pointing.
If I spend the money on the VP kit, can the external bits such as the cable be fitted easily on Sealift when I have a mid season scrub?
Are there any other options, such as an alternative sensor wired up to the Garmin GMI10? (I don't really want a Rulan type indicator stuck to the centre of the wheel)
Or will I just get used to handling in close quarters and within a few weeks forget all about rudder position sensors and be embarrassed I even posted this drivel?
Thanks in advance,
Paul.
