Sub-forum suggestion

[jviss]

How about a sub-forum in "forums for all users" for Electronics? GPS, wind/depth/speed instruments, AIS, radar, NMEA 0183 and 2000, Seatalk, autopilot electronics, gauges, etc.

Sounds like a good idea since this is definitely not unique to a particular brand of boat!

Interesting idea. It is sometimes surprising to me that individuals focus their questions based on brand rather than subject. It has a tendency to limit the possible sources of answers to just that brand, while the answer is likely more general based.

I suspect this is a hold over from car experience. If you have a problem with a Chevy you go to the Chevy dealer.
