No good for me. As in the pictures I posted in another thread I want to have my Chartplotter mounted on an arm/swivel so I can see it - straight on - from either side of the cockpit as I Never sit Behind the Wheel. Even years back when all I had was a Garmin 48 hand held it was on a swivel arm runing on 12v. When it's sailing around the bay I'm always on the low side to look under the genoa for lobster pots and I want to be able to glance forward then easily glance at the GPS/Chartplotter/compass for course and speed info. Even if I'm putting in a 10 hour day out cruising I spend 99% of the time on one side or another of the wheel although I'd ocasionally sit behind the wheel in the past on different boats for a change. Now I don't even have a seat in back of the wheel although I'm going to rig one up - again just for an occasional shift of the butt.
Stan, it's time to trade up the Nauticat for the ole 400. You want me to give you a link to one for sale??? Won't that drive Giu and TB up the wall (although TB secretly has been admiring my boat... he won't tell you though!!).

BIG SMILE!!
