Has anyone ever used one on a boat? How is the visibility in the sun? Any other comments on them?

Non-waterproof, unreadable in direct sunlight, and does single engine only....

So at the request of a couple other members, I created these gateways to work with HEFI and any marine display. Also have a J1939 output version, which should cover 90% of modern display and digital input gauge options.

Haxby told me about this after I posted this. This is my plan. What display do you like? I plan on possibly going with very few gauges and one display for my new dash.

I like the new 12-15" Simrad or Raymarine units, loaded with options. But the new Garmin stuff is good too. Just have to pick what fits the the space an budget.
Maybe Delsol will post some pics of his all glass cockpit layout. He went all digital, on twin displays for redundancy and charting options.

Sent him a pm but his box is full. Delsol if you read this do you mind sharing pictures of your setup and any comments on going gauge less. Thanks.

I am running the Holley digital gauge to read my AFR. It does ok in the sun. Still very readable. It has adjustable brightness. Much better than other digital gauges I have used in the past. Don't know on the waterproofing part because I don't let the inside of my boat get wet. Jeff Wurl
