Hi!
I'm researching monitors so that I can replace my ancient raymmarine chartplotter with openplotter. Currently the chart plotter is on the rail around the helm, so rather exposed. I've been finding a bunch of monitors that are sunlight readable and have an IP65 rating, though I've been unable to find i IP65 is enough for the cockpit? It's supposed to be safe from strong jets of water. I've seen IP65 mention in marketing material that it's ok for "driving rain". But I don't know how IP65 compares to the commerical chart plotters. Does anyone know?
Thanks!
