The screens above, bigger here , show Maretron’s prototype for N2KView, an engine (and more) monitoring program. Of course it handles most any raw NMEA 2000 data in a boat’s backbone, including J1939 engines...
One trend I’ve been enjoying lately is cruising blogs, like Faye and Gary Hussion’s Hullaballoo to St. Vincent trip, and Jeff and Karen Siegel’s aCappella Maine to North Carolina delivery just completed. There’s also...
