I got a Raytheon ST50 wind instrument that is ok but does not have the true/relative switch that my old dead one had. Saved a bunch, but I'm now going to install new Raymarine gear. It works so much better and does a lot more. The i70 multi and an Itc-5 converter box will allow me to use all my existing transducers and get wind, speed, depth and nab info on the one instrument. A mere zillion bucks.
