Mast Head Camera


Bicki and Dave Howell, Nellie D. 37VT63









Something we really enjoy having on Nellie D. are aft and forward looking cameras which are installed on the mast.  










The dome camera provides us with a "rear view" and has proven to be invaluable in narrow waterways with heavy traffic.  The dome camera is a standard display on our Gramin 5212 along with depth and the chart.  The forward looking camera (with 72 IR LEDs) is a bit bigger than the dome camera, but is a  perfect color match.  This camera is used at night, to help us see things a bit bit better and is displayed on the Garmin.  Recently, we also discovered the forward looking camera provided us with a clearer forward view during the day in light fog.
