I like your concept of having some stand alone instruments and would like to learn of a good way to have some of the benefits of the network without being reliant too on it . I will be buying most everything new for my boat so have lots of options so long as I don’t blow the budget. (grin) If you have any thoughts or suggestions on achieving a good balance between the standalone and networked items please share. I am using a Zeus 3-9 as my plotter and was thinking of adding the B&G 4G radar. My instrumentation is the original B&G Analog style which mostly still work. The wind was replaced by an Advansea unit that still works fine but I think is being phased out. I really like the idea of the forward looking sonar but wonder if the range and accuracy might improve if I wait a while on that one. I have two backup chart plotters that are standalone plus a handheld. I only have the original rotary autopilot which works fine so far. Would you recommend carrying a spare rudder sensor? Beginning to get the boat ready for the trip from the Med. back to Florida. Best, James Alton SV Sueño Maramu #220, about to begin another season in the Med!
