I have been going through old threads with particular reference to Flexible Solar Panels. There is so much negativity around flexible panels and I understand that there have been some very poorly manufactured cheap panels that have justified this reaction. Clearly Solbian have been setting the standard at the premium end and unashmedley, with a price to match. I am sure there must be some other brands with good experience and a track record to challenge them, but the difficulty is how to sort out which ones. I would be interested in any feedback from those who have been running flexible solar

Thanks again IT. Hadn't realised the Video connection also doubled as NMEA 0183. Will look at the Raymarine adaptor to connect direct to NMEA 2000 backbone though so I can share data. Not on boat atm and not sure of model on instruments (Boat launched 2006) but know that AP is 6002. Managed to get heading data out of Raymarine AP to Zeus so able to do radar overlay on cart view.

Thanks IT. The AP is still working fine of the Raymarine wind instruments so this is fine. Just wanted to get the wind and boatspeed inputs into the ZEUS 3 so that some of the B&G data starts to make more sense such as set and drift etc and the data available through Sailsteer screen even if this is not driving the AP As the ZEUS 3 does not have a separate NMEA0183 input, can I just make a connection from the Raymarine daisy loop data cable to the NMEA2000 backbone which will then feed both the XB8000 and the ZEUS 3 with wind and speed data??? Still want to do the full B&G upgrade

I have a similar issue. Our boat had full Raymarine E80 plotter, Radar and instruments and 6002 AP but E80 screen died and I have replaced this with Zues 3 9" and 4G radar. Fantastic plotter and radar; very happy I made decision to go B&G over Raymarine. Have been running the last year with both systems standalone and as the instrument upgrade to B&G is not in the budget currently I want to get the two systems working with each other to get full benefit of SailSteer etc and also get data into my X8000 so I can also pick it up on iPad apps over WiFi. Does the Raymarine Seatalk 1 to
