Re: Stus-List Defender sale - Raymarine eS78 Navionics? plus SH GX2200 VHF/AIS

[Tim Goodyear via CnC-List]

I purchased an es128 with Navionics charts from the same sale, plus Raymarine's 
new chirp radar (17W transmit power and wifi connection to the MFD sold me) and 
AIS.  I'm looking forward to setting it up!

Re: Stus-List Defender sale - Raymarine eS78 Navionics? plus SH GX2200 VHF/AIS

[Frederick G Street via CnC-List]

Actually, the “S” in eS doesn’t mean sonar; the eS75 doesn’t have it.  The “eS” 
Series is an update of the “e” Series, with more of a glass-bridge look and a 
slightly faster processor.  I’d recommend going with that for Nate; as far as 
pricing goes, I’m not sure I can compete with Defender during their sale, but I 
can beat them the rest of the year.

Nate — consider getting the eS variant that comes bundled with the Navionics+ 
North America charts; that’ll give you detailed charts on both the US and 
Canadian side of Lake Superior (and the rest of the Great Lakes).  And unless 
you’re planning on using the fish finder built into the eS78, you could just 
get the eS75 without instead and save a few bucks.

You’ll also need to order the NMEA0183 data cable separately, as it’s not 
included with the 7” eS Series; that’ll allow you to interface the GX2200 with 
the MFD for AIS and DSC functions.  The Raymarine part number is R70414.

Stus-List Defender sale - Raymarine eS78 Navionics? plus SH GX2200 VHF/AIS

[Bradley Lumgair via CnC-List]

I bought the a95 last year, redid all the electronics/instruments on the boat. 
Went all Raymarine as everything networks and displays on the plotter at the 
helm. Installing an Icom VHF/AIS  now as it links through the STng network with 
nmea2000 adapter cable, no muss no fuss (apparently)

seeking any advice or comments before I pull the trigger tomorrow on a
chartplotter and VHF with AIS to overlay on the plotter. Total with rebate
just over one BOAT buck. I'm used to Navionics - my only reason for picking
it over the other chart options. I have ST60 Raymarine instruments,
connecting them nice but not essential, cruising Lake Superior and
particularly the Canadian side. Not a whiz at marine electronics.. Your
thoughts appreciated.
