Joshandemma 1 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 The paddle on my B&G Hornet log has died and replacements are no longer available (go figure after only 20 years). Without the paddle other functions have stopped working too so Im considering replacement. I quite like to the look of the Raymarine wireless stuff and the new B&G gear. Neither is cheap for the replacements (wind, speed, vmg etc) I need so before I go much further wondering what experiences people have with these and others? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fogg 427 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I’ve not used B&G as I’m a Raymarine lifer. But I suspect if you’re used to B&G you would find a switch to Raymarine a big step backwards from what I understand (both reliability abs usability). On my latest boat I’ve inherited a Raymarine setup (again) so I’m stuck with it for now but it’s a long way behind the great systems they were in their heyday 20-30yrs ago. Don’t do it would be my advice! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sudden5869 12 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 I'm stoked with the B&G great provided by Matt at Neptunes Gear. Installed Triton2 Speed/Depth/Wind pack (Wireless) with additional Triton2 displays, and 9" Vulcan. Customisation and easy to read. All good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Island Time 1,184 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Thanks guys! It just so happens that I currently have a Zeus 3 7 inch on the shelf I'm prepared to do a deal on. RRP is $2500 incl GST. 1st person to make a 1/2 sensible offer on it will own it. You may be surprised what I'll accept! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCat 1 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 No idea where i would put it but i’m sure it can go somewhere in the flotilla - so what the heck $1250 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
