Mark,
Well you could have ordered the PakTrakr display with a water proof coating and longer cable to it. I did and am planning on mounting it at the HELM dash with a plastic case to protect it along with the 2 motor AMP draw meters in it. I haven't done it yet but will post a few pics once it's done. In addition I am going to install a second monitoring device at the Nav station inside.

This is the software that will read from a GPS device or a screen. You could consider reversing what I plan on doing, mounting the GPS or make it removable. I had looked at the other program Myles posted and thought this was a better idea and a bigger screen. The eyes are getting a little fuzzy. :o)
Happy Holidays,
Steve in Solomons MD

Subject: [Electric Boats] display at helm
So for Christmas I would like a current and voltage display at the helm. I've got a PakTrakr but it lives down below out of the elements. Other than a full on additional weatherized battery monitor, any thoughts?
