We installed the Airmar last year and are very pleased with its performance. We did have to drill out the original hole from our B&G transducer just forward of the watertight bulkhead. Ian Loca Lola I

Thx Bob, Suzanne and Paolo. We agree with the Sirrico fans. They're great. We have two back there as well but they are not placed near or within the hatch frame as you've both suggested. We will try t

AFT HATCH WIND SCOOP. Does anyone have a recommendation for a wind scoop type product that works effectively with the angled aft hatch of an SM? We tried the traditional wind scoop but it really doesn

Not sure what you consider low wind speeds but we have not experienced inaccuracies at any speed. Ian & Margaret Loca Lola II SM153

Same experience with us. I used grease and a smaller o-ring. No leakage after 6 months. Ian & Margaret Loca Lola II SM153

Hi Danny. No I do not expect it to stay exactly on the rhumb lines for obvious reasons. The issue is that at the moment you press Engage Pilot it does a hard turn to port and drives you that way for s

When I choose “Navigate” to a waypoint, the pilot steers the boat until it gets a 0.05 nm to 0.10 nm XTE to port every time. Then it course corrects by heading to starboard until it gets back on the r
