How many here have AIS transponders? Or do you just have a reciever?
In Response To: AIS..how important? ()
If you don't have a transponder, then the other vessels out there are blind to you. So if you and another small boat are transiting in dense fog, and neither one of you has a transponder, AIS won't do a thing for you.

- AIS..how important?
- I like having AIS
- We use ours all the time, I really like it ...
- If they managed to hit each other in broad daylight...
- I feel it's almost a must have
- I know exactly how it happened. I've made the run between Bimini
- Once I had it one wouldn't have a boat without one.
- Now that it's available as an app, I'll probably get a version.
- Is it a Class B or C?
- We really like our Vespermarine Watchmate 850
