I have recently upgraded my instruments and chartplotter, and have been going back and forth on the best placement of the instruments. The chartplotter (Simrad NSS7) will be mounted at the helm.
Instruments:
Do not want to place them within the bulkhead. I have ran most the lines including main, jib and spinnaker halyards, outhaul, cunningham and one reef to the cabin and cockpit area.
Placing the (4) instruments at the helm along with my chartplotter would be, although convenient but also very cumbersome, at times. So I was thinking of building a teak instrument pod over the companionway, visible, even if I am not at the wheel.
Any thoughts and input?
Right now they are scattered throughout the helm area.
