The CT-M500 being used as a bridge for NMEA-2000 concerns me a bit. It's one thing to use WiFi for audio and intercom functions. But there are alread...
Curious that it depends on using a 'wireless' interface to make a connection to an NMEA-2000 network. But there's no manuals or literature online for...
I have two Yacht Devices interfaces, one each for my Cat C12 engines, along with the necessary J1939 Deustch adapter cables. Works nicely. Their web...
Interesting to know. Their small stainless dome looks interesting, but the price point seems steep, especially if it's just chinese stuff they're imp...
Some AIS units have their own GPS detection built-in (Furuno's FA-50 which I have on my boat, does this). It requires having a VHF antenna set up for...

Some (all?) AIS units can obtain their own GPS fix. Use one that doesn't connect to the rest of the network. If it doesn't have built-in GPS then wi...
Would a Yacht Devices voyage recorder do the sorts of things you're after?

You can isolate power on different segments of a N2K network. As in, just one data network, but different sections with their own power. There are p...
I've found that trying to make full use of combined features in various devices... is often a fool's errand. Both at home and on the boat. You can't...
I agree on all points. I have a lot of home automation gear and it's likewise rather fragmented. At least with homes there's a potentially much large...
I have the USB to Mastervolt interface already. So... many.. separate... pieces... it's more than a little aggravating. Upside though was discoveri...
I've got no switching devices on the Masterbus side. Just a Mass Combi and some chargers. It's normal electrical stuff I'm after, so it's the 770318...
