This thing can remember up to 10,000 waypoints and more, so you don’t have to.
It’s nice to have reliable positioning when you’re out on the water.
The built-in compass will point you in the right direction.

Installed on Yanmar 4JH57 engines with Zeus Controllers - HOLY WOW power. Losing some power at top end but overall very satisfied. Will do a long term review later. Talk about power - hope to never need my generator again!

Great design but fail fast in the caribbean sun...
We bought these boots in 2022, and are buying new ones 3 years later. We love the design and the fact that they are easy to remove for inspection of the rig.
