Hi all, I went to install the raymarine sensor that came with my boat but has not been mounted to the mast since I bought the boat, only to discover that the cable had never been pulled in the mast either…. The boat has two ST60+ displays and a functioning seatalk network that I integrated with the n2k network awhile back using a multiplexer.

I am planning on updating the working Furuno cmap mfd system to a B&G system (for something more sailing friendly) next year.

So, based on all of the above, and with the knowledge that I have pulled cables through masts before and don’t really want to do it more than absolutely necessary. I think I should probably bite part of the bullet now and buy a sensor pack with two Triton displays and just install a new WS310 wind sensor and replace the ST60 displays, then much of the system will be ready for a chartplotter and radar upgrade to be finished next year when I have more time available.

So my questions are:

Is everyone happy with their B&G wind sensors?
I have read plenty of bad reviews of the wireless WS320, has anyone had a good experience with it?
B&G seems to have not updated the WS310 or the triton displays in quite awhile, does anyone know if they are about to update them? I don’t want to install a system that’s about to be made obsolete.
Any reason I should just keep the raymarine system? - I think I would be able to pull its data in to the n2k network and use it with the new B&G system, I would not mind saving the money and time but I don’t want to waste time setting it up if the B&G sensor is better.

Hi All,

I have removed my old gimbaled propane stove and I am building a cabinet to hold my electric convection oven/microwave combo and a two burner induction cooktop. I am re-using the gimbal mounts from my old stove to gimbal the cabinet. I was going to re-use the pot holders however, I have not used the old propane stove in awhile and the pot holders themselves seem to be missing.... Additionally, I cook a lot of rice, and I realized that I have enough space in the old stove area to mount the cooktop in the rear and leave enough space for the rice cooker in the front. I am going to have a piece of stainless sheet metal bent for the top front of the cabinet but the cooktop is otherwise a good fit and will fill the full width and back of the cabinet top. So, now I am left with a problem, the pot holders. Does anyone know of a off the shelf potholder that I could just mount to the top in front of the cooktop? I found the ENO replacements but the pot holders are too short for my cooktop - I need about a 9" span from the rail to the center of the potholder. Or any other idea's?
