I would be very interested in your comments about using and trusting such Hi Jens. Nice job on the gages. I personally much prefer a mechanical gage
over a complex electronic one. The old style gages may be slightly less accurate
but are less prone to malfunction. It seems to me that the fewer electrical
devices we put in our subs the better. It's a wet environment and water and
electricity don't mix well. Add a little salt to the mix and corrosion becomes a
real problem.
A fresh water sub will experience less problems with corrosion than a
salt water sub. I love the concept of "fly-by-wire" and some of the great stuff
like Cliff's Touch Screen controls are fantastic. I just don't know enough about
electronics and computer controls to feel comfortable using them.
