I just don't get it. I mean is that what their day consists of? If someone posted here that "scarabman is a scam and I found on google...." should that really be considered relevant? When did google become the utmost authority on verifying information? I wouldn't give the comment about you a second thought. But again I will reiterate, MY POST IS TO GATHER THOUGHTS ON THINGS BOATERS WOULD LIKE TO SEE ON BOATS IN THE FUTURE AND NOT FOR BORED FOLKS TO RUN A GOOGLE BACKGROUND CHECK FOR ME.

Your best bet for advice is to get ahold of a guy named Jim Darr. He knows a lot about the industry and he'll be happy to help.

Why are you upset that people googled him when you say you googled him yourself? Why did you bother to google him if the results are irrelevant?

I googled the company and relevant info regarding USCG wiring standards and his name was associated, seemed to be the appropriate thing to do as I am new to the marine instrumentation... I assumed this would be a friendly place to gather some info but it appears I was wrong. The negative comments that are unrelated to my question are irrelevant. The question wasn't about him, it was about what would YOU guys like to see as far as instrumentation on marine consoles? Actually pretty simple and straight forward.

I have a pretty cool system in my race car. I can set vital information without watching the gauges. Example is oil pressure, there is a led ring around gauge at 50 psi the led lights at 40 psi it blinks and becomes brighter at 20 psi it rapid flashes and if it flashes like that for 3 seconds it will kill the ignition. All vitals are self programmed including the tach.
