Upgrading and integrating new MFD into older system
We are running the following Raymarine products on a high speed patrol boat ( Zodiac):

- Raystar 125 GPS Receiver
- Raymarine ST60+ Graphic Display
- Raymarine DSM300 Digital Sounder Module
- Raymarine E-Series Display
- Raymarine Radar

This is all ( older) model equipment installed on the boat as a complete new system by the builder Zodiac. Year 2007 approx

We are looking to upgrade the system and integrate into the new system without doing a complete replacement.

This is what we need , in broad strokes.

We need a new model MFD most likely a 15" . Unit will need to be touch screen as well as button controlled. Will have to have Bluetooth and wifi .

We will want to attach a heat sensor night vision camera to the new system

We will want the option of attaching another radar to the system.

We are interested in forward looking sonar and an upgrade to our depth sounding. The system we have now works very poorly at high speed. This is , we know a hard problem with any boat that is moving at high speeds and at times leaving the water.

One of the limiting factors with our old system is the limited number of tracks we can lay down. We do lots of work in confined waters with many shoals and reefs , much of this done at high speed and in low light and fog conditions. We need to lay down good tracks during times when conditions are clear and then use these tracks to navigate safely during adverse conditions. In the areas where we operate there are still large errors in the electronic charts as they are just scans of the old paper charts.

Given the above parameters can you give me a rundown on what you think might meet our needs.
If you need more info please feel free to post questions.

Thank you in advance
