Well, I got access to the NMEA data in my 115 E-TEC with pleasing results: But as I wrote, Evinrude is not very clear about how to do it and what you'll get. Here are some good alternate info sources...

Your 4G should have lasted longer, but most do, I think. Not sure how you can get anything but another B&G without also getting another MFD or PC. But then again you can replace the 4G or step up ...

Hi Giuseppe, I'm not familiar with the Element Series but I see the following on the Model Compare page ( ) "The Element Series products use a different operating system to our Axiom range of Multifu...

Hi Skip, A Wave WiFi Rogue Reach dual band is working well for me and I think that the company will be sticking around: Don, Wave Wifi also offers various boat routers -- dual sim included, I think -...

Quite a boat, Nick! I don't think that you can go too far wrong with any of the major brand nav systems, but personally I'd be thinking of Furuno TZT3 displays with dual Doppler radars and DFF3D mult...

Hi Rick, I've been running two of those Turck multi-ports on Gizmo since I wrote that entry and have seen no problems.

Found out that the M510 only accepts AIS data via NMEA 2000.

Larry, I suspect that David Clark is your best bet, but Ben Stein did review Eartec and Sena headsets for less noisy environments

@bwpirate Tom, I like the reverse idea. Assuming that many boats with a premium VHF like this also have an AIS transponder and are probably feeding target data MFDs over N2K, so run the 0183 HS output...

Rory, what you're linking to at Defender is Icom's M510TR Class B AIS transponder with its own target screen, not the new M510 VHF. I guess the similar names are because they are sort of in the same c...

@wkearney99 I share your concerns, Bill, but I just got off the phone with Ray Novak of IcomAmerica and one thing I learned is that the M510 can join a boat WiFi network instead of creating its own.

Chris, does the Si-Tex AIS have a NMEA 2000 port? If so, I think that the Actisense W2K-1 is an excellent WiFi gateway: If the output is only NMEA 0183 -- besides for the USB -- you might consider th...

You have to build a NMEA 2000 network, Harvey, even for just two devices. It has to be powered and it has to be terminated. This Ancor kit should do the job for you:

Thanks, Tom! I don't know why ICOM has not made a big deal about it yet, but the M510 is much more than a beautiful color screen in a smaller format: www.icomamerica.com/en/products/marine/mountedvh...
