Ian I have had the same issue: EchoPilot 20 years old and display dead. Gracefully I was in Greece and able to send only the display unit to a repair company in Athen, Greece. Within one week I got it

We had the Interphase unit on Elyse when we bought her in 2013. About a year later the transducer failed. I obtained a replacement from Garmin in the US who had just bought Interphase. That transducer

Hi Ken. The FLS was on the boat when we bought it. We thought it was pretty cool and we could use it in areas where we were uncertain and therefore give us more confidence in exploring or anchoring ar

I have not read the bad press about the B&G FLS ,but I am less than impressed . I had it installed a few years ago when I replaced all my electronic on board . It sends out false signals showing obstr

Craig, Three coats have to be better than one ,and the barrier coats can only help to keep the keel dry ,plus it provides a better bond for the bottom paint . Looking at Petit Premium HRT ,the manager

Pat, You're right - their Technical Bulletin says one coat and their Product Data Sheet says three minimum. Also says don't let anything dry before the next coat until you've got the High Build Epoxy

Hi Ken, what is the make and model of your fls. Does it have a stand alone display. Thanks Danny SM 299 Ocean Pearl

Hello Ian, It would be nice to know how the Echo Pilot died. What happened, how it happened? We hit a log off Columbia, and had to replace the transducer. I really missed the EchoPilot when it was INO

Justin, No, I have not seen anything on their website, but had told them a year ago they could use any video they wanted from our YouTube channel. Ken on Aquarius

We had an EchoPilot on our SM until it died two years ago. We wanted to replace it and talked with all the major electronics manufacturers, none of whom seemed enthused by the technology. So we have b

Ken, Did you know that they have a video of Aquarius on the Echo Pilot website? It is right under the "Get Quote" button on this page: https://echopilot.com/products/fls-2d/ - Justin Hopeful future SM

Craig , I was just reading that page this morning,yet elsewhere they suggest a min. of three coats of Rustlok. The Petit tech guy this morning said that I don't need to use a barrier coat ,but it woul

Jean-Pierre! What transducer did you choose, I though Raymarine was mor for fish finding? Paul on SY Kerpa SM#259

Ken, I was originally thinking of something that would interface with my B&G display but I think that you make a really good point about having a stand alone system in this case. It helps a lot to hea

Hi Ken, Good to see your usage of FLS is like mine; like everything else electronic, what is really needed? I have hit the reef twice; lightly in both cases... in Fiji. First time was in a buoyed chan

Hello James, I like the fact that the Echo Pilot is completely separate from the rest of the navigation equipment. I would like a radar overlay on the chart plotter, but not the FLS. You can spend mor

Hello Gang, When I decided to integrate an FLS, I chose a Raymarine unit. Integrates perfectly with the rest of the electronics and displays on either of my 2 plotters. Additionally, having sailed in

Ken, A great educated/ personal review of FLS. Your logic concerning the value and useage of FLS seems sound to me. This is timely as I am looking at adding FLS to our boat. Recognizing that this seem
