Ken,
Not sure what you're trying to do - move the Mac from lower to upper without having to plug stuff in and out? If so, why not forego the bluetooth GPS and have your GPS and the rest of your electronics wired via nmea into a Miniplex bluetooth multiplexer? That will send the data from all the instruments (GPS, AIS, wind, depth, speed) to the Mac wirelessly. I'm set up that way, and while I'm one of those 'sailors', I find it very convenient. I can move my Mac about at will, even sit in my bunk, and get all the data with no wires. Works great.
