[Music] hi Jeff Cote here with Pacific yacht systems what we're going to talk about next is instruments so here we have a typical instrument squarish looking instrument and what it is is there really a way it's a portal to see sort of data information navigational data for your boat so what could that be that could be most commonly would be depth it could be wind speed it could be speed on ground it could be temperature barometer sea temperature all this sort of data so it's an instrument is not a place where you're gonna find chartplotter you're not gonna be able to see radar but it's a place where you're gonna be able to see common information that you use to make navigational decisions on your boat so when you install one of them nowadays they're called multifunctional displays because realistically these devices comparatively a little bit you don't have to buy now an instrument just for depth an instrument just for speed an instrument just for wind you can actually buy one instrument that does at all so that's a really good way to kind of consolidate all these instruments that you have on your boat and we can do anything that you want them to do you've got to connect them to sensors or an enemy 8 mm backbone and you're gonna want to have maybe a winin ometer you're gonna have a depth transducer a speed paddle wheel a barometer and any a mm paddle wheel you can even have starting to have you know engine sensors like you can have enemy a mm sensors for your engine the list goes on and on and on but ultimately what's really good about an instrument it's it's a really condensed concise way of giving you relevant information that is navigation and we installed out all the time sail borders do that power boaters do them and they're just really in handy and so I really like how compact they are and look how bright the screen is back in the day 20-30 years ago you would almost have to be looking at them directly now you can look at them at an angle and you can see clearly the information and you can set up the screen for whatever you like you can have it one number or you can have it show it a little bit of a graphic or have a whole set of information if you've got any further questions about instruments and how they can be useful for your boat contact us and thanks for watching
