Hello All - I am replacing ancient sailing instruments with the latest and greatest. Raymarine and B&G are both offering wireless displays and transducers.  The displays are solar/lithium powered.  The masthead (wind speed and direction) is also solar/lithium powered. Does anyone have experience with these? Is the wireless connection stable? Are the solar/battery powered displays reliable? I am specifically considering the Raymarine T108 system which seems suitable for my Contest 35. Thanks for any insights! - Bill W

Bill,
We have replaced our B&G instruments over the last three years and are using the blue tooth, mast head and auto pilot.
We are very pleased with how it’s been working and would recommend it.
Regards
Anne & Michael

Hi Anne and Michael,
Is that Raymarine that you are using to replace the B&G? Dick

Hi,
Sorry should have said B&G. I know it had the reputation of Broken and Gone, but we have always preferred it to Raymarine. Our first boat had Raymarine and it was a good system , but found the after service to be a bit slow.
Since then our current boat has had B&G and we have had very good service from different agents in different parts of the world.
