I think they would only violate the rule if you purchased the NEMA portion of the instruments and connected a GPS and a computer. If you just use the speed and depth portion it is no different from the normal instruments that came with the boat except they are solar powered and wireless. That being said, I am all for changing the rules to keep up with the times. This is something that should be brought up at the next class meetting.
