During the decades I have sailing I have learned the kind of antifouling does not depend of the brand of the boat but rather more of the water the boat is swimming in.

I suggest to better go to Kalamata, Greece. Much less Covid and a very safe marina with all suppliers within a few steps by feet.

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

Paolo Since I don't have 220 Volt on board I can use the cooker only in the harbor.

Are you using the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz Ubiqiti? I don't know a dual band Ubiquiti. I'm using the 2.4 GHz Ubiquiti for over 10 years now in its plastic case without any problems but in European marinas

Paolo, as you can see from my photo above the 2 flame Silvercrest inductive cooker from Lidl fits perfect. The space is 590 and the device is 580 mm. So no problem at all.

Same measurement at the Sharki. I have installed the 2 flames Silvercrest inductive cooker from the Lidl company in Germany for 79.- Euro.
