The 2009 boating season will bring with it many new products. AIS class B is available from many manufacturers now. This new AIS (Automatic Identification System) allows pleasure boats to receive and transmit boat information to and from other boats automatically. The new class B units are much less expensive and add a level of safety to your navigation system. See all our AIS equipment here. AIS Receivers and Transponders*****
NMEA 2000 equipment is changing the installation world. Most boats will need an NMEA 2000 backbone into which various sensors and displays are attached. Radar cables are getting thin.
