in marine electronics, today announced the overwhelming success of its 2008

each seminar is limited to 30 attendees and includes interaction with

actual multifunction displays, providing a very personalized and hands-on

our customers to fully utilize their onboard electronics, ultimately

resulting in a better on-the-water experience."
