Electronic Instruments

We have received our official order confirmation from M.I. Cats, which now means we now need to start to plan on what additional extras we need on fitting out the boat.

On the sea trial, the demo boat was fitted with the now standard factory fitted Furuno electronic instruments, which did not strike us as an improvement over what we have come used to, which is the Raymarine ST60 electronic instruments, the first and most obvious problem we had was with the wind indicator only showed the usual true and apparent wind direction and with no indication given to the wind speed as seen on the Raymarine ST60, so it did not take long to decide that we would stick with what we know and we would be fitting Raymarine instruments, after all, our last boat had Raymarine electronics and we never had a single problem with them, so stick with what you know. Plus it seems Raymarine has just updated the ST60 range, which is now called the ST60 Plus.


We will also be fitting an autopilot and the Raymarine ST6002 with the usual additions of the corepack and the drive unit will do nicely.
