Re: Stus-List Forward looking crows nest camera
Raymarine at least has these in both ordinary video camera and FLIR configurations. Sailboats are tough for sonar installs. Navy ships use transducers mounted at the deepest point of the bow as far under surface disturbances as you can get. We do not have the luxury of that kind of transducer size or mounting area. Fishing sonar uses a pretty big tranducer that very few sailing yachts would want to deal with. http://www.furunousa.com/products/ProductDetail.aspx?product=CH2542%2f150%2f5.2=Parts=Parts Joe Della Barba Coquina -Original Message- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Steve Thomas via CnC-List Sent: Tuesday, April 25, 2017 7:12 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: Steve Thomas <sthom...@bellnet.ca> Subject: Stus-List Forward looking crows nest camera Given that the main reason for wanting forward looking sonar is to avoid bumping into things, and given that a sharp lookout is both the traditional and still recommended way to navigate the reefs in many places, it is a wonder to me that I have yet to hear of a camera either used or marketed as a substitute for a crows nest.

Stus-List Forward looking crows nest camera
Given that the main reason for wanting forward looking sonar is to avoid bumping into things, and given that a sharp lookout is both the traditional and still recommended way to navigate the reefs in many places, it is a wonder to me that I have yet to hear of a camera either used or marketed as a substitute for a crows nest. A continuous video feed from a "crows nest camera" to a screen at the nav station might be a useful thing in any number of situations. I am thinking of something along the lines of a wired GoPro up on the mast or under a spreader. Even 4k cameras aren't all that expensive these days. Steve Thomas C MKIII Port Stanley, ON P.S.
