Richard:
I seem to recall some You Tube video(s) of someone who hacked a Paktrakr and made a larger LCD display using the Paktrakr data. You might check that out.

Subject: [Electric Boats] PAKTRAKR question
Hello everyone,
I did get my electrically powered Compac 27 launched and I'll post a brief summary soon (I keep hoping Yahoo will switch back to the previous format, I hate the way things show in the web version right now, we don't even get our own picture on the front page, right now it is a guy on a mountain bike).
Anyway, my PAKTRAKR display is dead. The remote seems to be running correctly as it is still flashing in the proper sequence. I would guess the displays weren't set up for outside use as it appears they were originally intended for electric cars.
Before I go buy an entire setup (some guy in Europe has some for sale), I was wondering if anyone here knows if there is a "black box" that I could use to convert the PAKTRAKR output to a NMEA protocol that could be displayed on my Standard Horizon 390i chartplotter.
This would have to be a plug and play set up as I'm not knowledgeable enough to program anything to do this.
Thanks,
Richard
