I've had a Miniplex 41BT for 4 years and use it all the time to repeat Raymarine SeaTalk data. It can be wired directly into SeaTalk to provide heading, wind, depth, and all of the other data available on SeaTalk. It also has ports for adding additional NMEA devices (AIS, etc) and multiplexes it all together with SeaTalk and sends it out the Bluetooth port.
I put the multiplexer in the middle of the boat and find that I can easily connect anywhere inside the boat (I have a 53' boat). I'd estimate that it has a range of 30' minus 5 feet for every bulkhead the signal has to pass through.
