Mainship 34' Pilot - Queen Bee

Mainship 34' Pilot

The electronics on Leith’s 34-foot Mainship, the Queen Bee, were ten years old.  He was having a major problem with the autopilot; the display on his GPS wasn’t working; a laptop was running his navigation system. He purchased a Raymarine navigation solution (C90W MFD, DSM 300 sounder, X-30 autopilot), and when seeking a certified installer, found Pacific Yacht Systems through their website.

When describing the Queen Bee’s new electronics commissioned by PYS, Leith says,  It’s all integrated, it’s a lot simpler, it works and it works well.

PYS designed and installed a system that integrated all these components, and they even replaced Leith’s stereo system with one that was iPod compatible. Now, boating in BC waters is much more enjoyable—Leith makes the trip from Saskatchewan to do so.

Q: I recently had an AIS transceiver added to my existing Raymarine C Series chartplotter on my boat. I noticed that the little AIS icon at the top right of the screen has changed to a Red "X", even though the AIS seems to be working fine. What does the "X" mean?
