How to save an absolute fortune on marine electronics. 

In this episode we go into the detail necessary to create a reliable, robust navigational system onboard. You MUST be self reliant to be offshore in our view.
Our setup doesn't appear convenient at first, however the further you sail, it will be for reasons explained in the video.
We replaced the radar dome as the 4g unit failed also. Since writing the VHF has also failed from BandG along with our GPS sensor. So you get the picture here folks......
We write from safety now in Costa Rica and next episode we will explore the dangers and the solutions we had on the navigation to Costa Rica.
For those interested to replicate this setup:
Linksys 5g router,
Navico Halo 20 (resentfully purchased).
Cat 5 crimper and cables to make new rj45 connection.
Opencpn software opencpn.org/
You must install the radar Pi plugin as part of the opencpn plugins section and connect your computer to the new 5g network you created over wifi. Put the radar cable into the router. Also, you will need a fairly decent cpu or GPU in your laptop or desktop to run the radar over wifi. My raspberry pi 4 didn´t cut it.
