I installed the Standard Horizon 150 in monochrome last year and think it is great. I have Standard Horizon instruments on the bulkhead, and they all communicate just fine. The GPS/plotter is on the shelf over the chart table, but I can read bearing to waypoint, distance, etc. from the Repeater on the bulkhead. Standard's wiring diagram wasn't much help, though, so I had to sort it out myself. It should be helpful on the Newport Beach-Ensenada Race in April.
