Yeow, yes, I just looked at the StructureScan, like putting a Brick on the bottom of your boat!
They will reduce it to a half inch in a couple years. I have faith.

You have to either transom mount, or drill a hole in the boat. The are also an odd shape and do not fit any standard through-hull fitting. I ended up returning the unit.

But I would also have to have that StructureScan transducer so I could see perfect images of the bottom. This video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SlO6naQL0m0 seems to explain a little of what I was wondering about this morning. It looks like Lowrance owns this technology? , at least that is all that comes up when I search for it. The Lowrance display in the video is like a TiVo, you can bring back the images that you just went over and mark them. Amazing. Ill bet you could find your winch handles with this technology. BTW, who has the Zeus, Pierre, Jean, or Francois?

Seatalk can be easily bridge to NMEA2000. After all, those are simple N2K message, not quite like autopilot. It can be done with an ITC-5 or through the existing ST-whatever display.

This looks like watching the Americas Cup on this little screen! I cant believe the changing laylines. I downloaded the manual, this is mind boggling. I really dont want to Replace my Raymarine CRC80 . . .this would also probably require new Wind/Speed/Depth and Replacing the Raymarine autopilot because of that annoying sea-talk.

Here's why I spent $900.00 on a B&G Zeus Touch. Rugged / Clear Screen in the sun / Waterproof / No-Nonsense functionality / integration. Its so much more than just a GPS nav.. No-Nonsense functionality: Has both touch and real buttons that you can use intuitively in the heat of the battle / wearing gloves Sailing functionality. (Sail Magazine 2013 #1 innovation award winner: Sail Steer) ETA / Waypoints / Tack Laylines automatically optimized via knowledge of currents / tides / windshifts / GPS position / SOG / COG / VMG . .Etc. All the normal sailing gauges / Drive your Autopilot optimized via the aforementioned (Sail Steer) Cool Integration, single interface to view and control from the helm or anywhere on the boat via an Ipad / Android device on Wifi of the following: - Full Audio control --> Control Ipod / Android music lists, Pendora, Independent volume for speaker zones (Cockpit / Salon / Sub ) (Fusion makes an NMEA 2000 Compliant Ipod / iphone interface / speaker package (260.00 bucks or so) and a full featured Bluetooth / DVD / CD / AM-FM / USB NMEA compliant Head unit (About 500.00) - Radar - Engine / Fluid levels monitoring - Sonar - AIS - All Sailing gauges VMG / Combined actual / apparent wind / close-hauled / etc. etc. - Chartplotter / GPS mapping Network Integration: - NMEA 0183 output built-in to integrate with my Autupilot / VHF - All my new transducers / windvanes / sensors are NMEA 2000 compliant and on the backbone + There's a standard ethernet network output for cheap wifi capabilities. - No proprietary networking to fool with or adapter interfaces needed. Any NMEA 2000 compliant module / display / Ipad / Android app that get hook on the Wifi / ethenet can benefit from SOG / windspeed / wind direction / COG / GPS coordinates, etc etc Software is upgradable via standard sim card / works with upgraded Navionics chats All of this is plug and play on a rugged / waterproof device. In the big scheme of things and all the money we spend on these boats 900.00 for this much integration and easy to use functionality is money well spent. -Francois Rivard 1990 C&C 34+ Take Five Lake Lanier, GA _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com/ CnC-List@cnc-list.com _______________________________________________ This List is provided by the C&C Photo Album http://www.cncphotoalbum.com CnC-List@cnc-list.com
