I went ahead and installed a light and buzzer for the sea talk "master alarm." Cause, like, there was a connector for it that I couldn't just leave open. Supposedly if any one individual alarm (e.g. depth, proximity, anchor, wind) gets ignored for a certain amount of time, the master alarm goes off. Then you have to figure out exactly why. It might be more useful if it tied in to Siri or something to provide more clues. Getting engine data into the network might be more trouble than it's worth though.
