Porter,
You have the GP-150 and he successfully reprogrammed it?
For the FA-50, I always had the hard switch. My understanding was that the software “silent mode” was not available on the

We just had furuno Brisbane reprogram both the GPS and the AIS. Interesting note. No longer to silence the AIS using software, which was important to us on rare occasion. The tech gave me the wiring

Peter,
This is the schematic diagram with all the parts. Be aware that I have two Furuno course computers and the diagram shows only one as there can only one be active at a given moment.

Scott,
I paid about 10k $ for everything together. I did however manage to get some of the toys at good prices on eBay. That takes patience.

Joerg,
Did you update the Course computers to the latest firmware. They added a lot of sailboat-stuff in the more recent firmwares.

Re: Should I Refit a Furuno or choose a B&G plotter?
Arno,
Just curious - how much did that entire system cost you?
Which radar do you have? We have the Navnet VX2 so perhaps our radar is older and won't work with the TZ2.
Ours works reasonably well

Since we got these sails we never had any problem furling them downwind or on broad reach. The only problem that can occur when unfurling is that the top of the first batten gets caught
