So what do I mean when I write that this site will contain articles about marine electronics? Well from a technicians perspective it is usually ‘some random antique device powered by dc electricity that was installed when the boat was built but before they put the furniture in right next to razor sharp edges and covered in oily fishy bilge water’. Of course there is no manual, no labels on any connectors, or any recollection by it’s current owner of what exactly it is supposed to do; except that it doesn’t work, and prevents a host of other things from working, on the third Tuesday of the month if the wind is from the South East’.
