sailboat upgrade path

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Bob,

Your equipment list looks like its off to a good start. Be certain to leave enough time to get it all installed, perform shake down, and practice with the equipment. As the Axiom MFDs do not have a NMEA 0183 communications interface, a Micro-Talk Gateway would need to be added to the system. The Micro-Talk Gateway is designed to function as a data bridge between a TackTick system and a SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 backbone. The TackTick transducers and additional required TackTick components are included within the T108 Wireless Speed, Depth and Wind System. Regarding whether the T109 is the best choice for a sailing vessel, I tend to favor the separate depth and Speed/Temp transducers (i.e. T911 Speed and temperature transducer and T912 Depth transducer) as depth performance is generally better with full element vs half element depth transducers.
