Only if you can disguise or hide it like we've done - I think that they are ugly.

How about putting it inside an empty dome?

Are you fitting Class B AIS?
Having just done a X Channel trip - AIS is now becoming quite usefull - quite a lot of people are fitting AIS receivers now so it would be another way of being seen.

We fitted the Comar one - roughly the same price as the Raymarine receive only one - you do need an extra GPS mushreem though but it IS another way of ships seeing you.
