I'm getting frustrated with instruments. All I really want or need is depth, speed and heading.
Have depth and speed from Nexus, but speed not working. Transducer at $240 has been on '2-week back order' for 6 weeks and nobody has one in stock.
This weekend during the NOOD the second of two mast mounted KVH maxi compass displays started intermittently losing one segment of the digital 8 in the ones column. The other is missing several segments and leaks. Doubtful KVH will repair either, since both are at least ten years old, and one has already been replaced. These used to be $600 each but I don't see any offered online.
I still have one original KVH display in the cockpit and could get another for $200, mounting them on the mast angled like the TackTick for less than buying the real thing.
The
NS360 Tactical Compass GPS by NOVASAIL at $500 is only slightly more than the combined price of the transducer and small KVH display. It gives heading and speed, plus distance to line, although the speed is GPS based.
Anyone seen this item or have another suggestion?
BTW for Rhapsody, how do you rig the Cunningham with the displays so close to the mast?
