I was asked by HG02 about Cruz Pro in another thread so I thought I better post a new thread on my experience.
I was sailing around the North Island NZ 8 years ago and visited the Auckland Boat Show and discovered a small stand of marine instruments called Cruz Pro.
I remembered the brand name as when I worked for Whitworths we used to sell only their gas detectors. In my opinion Whitworths is a bit like Woolworths in that they only sell the products if their is something in it for them.
Anyway, since they seem to be sold only by word of mouth I thought I would pass my experience on.
I have no connection other than becoming a customer.
I agree, the sender or transponder thingy up the mast is the same sort as some of the new style weather stations. One wonders if they perform when heeled over? I like the logging functions on the instrument though.
I was thinking of getting one until I pulled the Navman head unit apart and replaced the ribbon cable joining the board and display. Now as good as new again.
I have a speed SLT110 head unit that I bought online when the Navman failed. It is connected to my Navman through hull sender unit, even the temperature part worked.
I also have a VAH35 & PY30. So I can vouch for the quality of the product.
