    I had one for awhile on my sailboat, and I got rid of it. It's
    finicky about the voltages used by the attached instruments.
    Specifically it is not compatible with Raymarine. Other than the
    compatibility issue (and the relatively high price), it seemed OK,
    though I never really calibrated it, so I can't answer to its
    accuracy. I'm sure it's accurate enough for a trawler. :-)
