Our nav station has been modified with a sub electrical panel with an additional 6 breakers as well as mounting radios, TNC, etc. Our instruments are Autohlem and use the seatalk bus to communicate with each other. We have also installed a seatalk to NMEA converter to allow us to display and record wind, depth, speed and all nav and GPS data on our computer along with the electronic charts.
