Baller 6balls Posted September 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 22, 2011 For those running the CC LINC system, or the Mali-view or similar...do you like them or long for the day with some regular guages etc? Still seems a bit foreign to me but I don't own one either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ed_Johnson Posted September 22, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 22, 2011 2011 CC 200 with LINC. Absolutely Love it !!!! I was fortunate to fly some of the most sophisticated aircraft in the world such as the 747- 400 and the Airbus A-330. They all had tremendous electronic displays. Especially systems and diagnostics. The CC 200 display is a true step forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemsondave Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I think it is a step in the right direction. I'd like to see ZO integrated (CC almost had it for 2012). I'd love if it could be customized. Like position of certain data, font sizes, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted September 22, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted September 22, 2011 Cool stuff, Ed. On the aviation front I found it interesting shortly after glass made a big debut in general aviation, I would get on commercial planes and see std guages as I walked past the entrance to the cockpit...the new GA panels were more advanced. Absolutely amazing panels now used by the airlines and GA as well these days. I fly a '00 Mooney Ovation II w/Garmin 530/430 stack, the remainder std guages...at the time the '00 Mooney was manufactured the 530/430 was really something...now terribly obsolete. Maybe someday I will be able to transition up both in air and on water (right after I win the lottery). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bxroads Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I want a reasonably priced boat that I can maintain. A move in the direction of a $350 million jet is not appealing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ral Posted September 23, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 23, 2011 For me, in a dedicated waterski boat, the only advantage is to have engine diagnostics. You can actually reset stupid warning lights without a laptop and a US$ 700 cable. Other than that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Sullivan Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Hate the displays. They will be a major pain in the a$$ down the road. I had the stupid Mux switches on my 08 Repsonse LXi and those only worked half the time. I love the way the Mastercraft still has normal switches and dedicated guages that don't ever have problems.

Baller_ Jody_Seal Posted September 23, 2011 Baller_ Share Posted September 23, 2011 I am enjoying the Link system in my 2011, and so far it has not even hick-uped. However I think my next boat will be as basic a gauge deal as I can get. On the Nautique side I am not hearing of failures with the link systems tho like anything taking care of the boat minimizes the chances of failure. Many Skier's and wake boarders tend to utilize their boats more as a tool then an investment and they are the ones that tend not to take care of their boats and are the loudest when failure occurs!

clemsondave Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 I have not heard of any failures either on the 200 LINC. Look at it this way, far fewer moving parts. Yes, the replacement cost would be expensive, but since it is solid state so I bet it is pretty reliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted September 23, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted September 23, 2011 Are they a problem in sunlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clemsondave Posted September 23, 2011 Share Posted September 23, 2011 Not at all, but it is blinding for our night skiing - even in night mode. I'd like to see a dimmer switch, or turn it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller 6balls Posted September 23, 2011 Author Baller Share Posted September 23, 2011 Yah, dimmer switch would totally make sense. I always think funny in cars when the dimmer runs most things, but not all...like you have your brights on during empty highway cruise and the brights indicator is blasting you against dim guages.

Baller ScarletArrow Posted September 25, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 25, 2011 @clemsondave - there is a dimmer switch for the 200 LINC night mode; takes some playing around with in the setup, but it's there. I adjusted mine while on a lake vacation and trolling around at night. To answer the question, I'm not a fan of the LINC system. My next boat will be a Standard Edition with the analog gauges - just personal preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Ham_Wallace Posted September 25, 2011 Baller Share Posted September 25, 2011 The MUP switches got way better in 09 and 10. I like the Malivue so far. Heck, I would never have a boat without the battery isolator switch. Turn it off each time I pull it out and never a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
