My KK54 has one legacy system left and that’s the weather info, I actually don’t have any gauges left for them but do have what looks like a totally functional unit in the mizzen mast. I then have a DataMarine DART in my helm area that looks mostly defunct.
Does anyone have any experience or docs on the DataMarine equipment? If it’s working I would much rather convert the current top of mast stuff to 0183 or 2K than fun another cable and deal with install.
If you don’t have experience with this stuff I’m still curious on what weather sensor you went with, my understanding is in N2K I have a few choices in ultrasonic.
-Maretron (good but very short drop cable means I’d need to run the backbone up the mast?) $700
-Furuno (Will wire into my DRS radar but $1300
-Garmin (No short drop cable requirement and about the same price as Maretron?)
