Derek from Alcom worked his magic again and replaced the Raymarine AIS250 receiver with the Raymarine  AIS500 Transceiver.  The hardest part of the install was pulling the cable from the required stand alone GPS antenna on the top of the pilot house down to the Electronics cabinet behind the helm.  After the install, our boat showed up on the AIS receiver of a 43 ft Nordhavn  down the gangway from our slip with all of our AIS data, Lat/long, MMSI #, etc.  So now we can be seen as a AIS transponder equipped vessel by other vessels so equipped.

We now consider the Electronics suite on the Makai complete.
