Impress your friends with something that looks like it came out of a submarine: a Cetec Benmar Course Keeper 210! Ours is still going strong after 38 years. No pesky MFD integration to worry about either.

We used a Raymarine AIS700 transceiver that has an integrated splitter for several years and had no issues. This includes very busy BC ferry traffic zones and Pacific offshore encounters with various size boats. No problems. Don't overanalyze it, you'll be fine with a quality splitter.

Can you imagine the despair of those left behind as Shackelton sailed off to get help? Stuck on a small, cold rocky island in the middle of nowhere. The hope and faith in your captain but your gut telling you how unlikely the chances of success. And yet he didn't lose a single crew member...
