I don't know where you get your information - I send in my information
and they print the compilation at least every other year. The
questions were last in the 2004 Bulletin and I don't think they've
published the results yet. I remember the 2002 Survey.

A lot of stuff it doesn't matter who installed the equipment. What
difference does maintenance and installation make for something like a
solar panel?
Actually because most of these people's lives depends on their boat
and equipment I'd venture to say that most of it is installed, used
and maintained very well.

It's a good indication of what is being used out there. There is a
comment section which is very interesting. It's at least as good as
the info you'd get here.
