Hi John, When we purchased out boat back in 2010 it had a full suite of old Autohelm ST50 instruments which had a number of issues so we replaced then all with the following:
Nav Station – Raymarine i70 Multifunction Instrument Cockpit – Cabin House aft bulkhead port: Raymarine i50 Speed and i50 Depth, and i60 Wind Instruments, and House aft bulkhead starboard: i60 Close Hauled Wind / VMG Instrument Helm – Raymarine i70 Multifunction Instrument The i70 installed at the Nav Station below and also at the helm let you display anything that is on any of the other instruments, as well as some any other data that may be on the network, such as AIS information, water temperature, etc. We're please with the setup. If we replace our autopilot controller and / or our Chartplotter at some point in the future we tie those into the network too, so they can all work together. As we had the i70 at the helm we didn't really need the i60 Close Hauled / VMG but there was a hole in the bulkhead for it and I was used to having it there so we got it anyway. Ken H.
