  1. I can help you with the installation. This is an awesome unit after going through the pains of learning to install it. The unit is generic so you have to purchase a fitting kit and an adapter for the for the sensor unit on the OB plus additional hoses. The prices vary so you need to shop. I purchased my hoses from EBAY. These extra parts will run a couple of hundred $$$$$$ The compass position is critical.

    I had a Sport Pilot Plus on my previous rig and this unit puts that unit into the dark ages.

    I you need advice I'll be more than happy to help. PM me ands I'll give you my phone numbers. It's much easier to talk than to type.

    PS: The customer service at Simrad sucks, the help I received came from this website!

  2. PM lyteline he had one rotary one installed recently mine is hydraulic. The only thing I can add is that the location of the compass is critical for the calibration. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

    I had a sport pilot plus on my previous boat and that doesn't compare to the Simrad.

  3. We've been hitting Cayuga afternoons till dark. The quality has been good, the numbers were down. We'boated several fish and I agree deep water with green flys or spoons behind a silver dodger worked the best. We did boat one bow about 5 1/2 lbs and lost one larger. The browns were running between 4 to 7 lbs.

    The bite was fast and short 1 hour before dark.

  4. Any of you guys that have Simrad auto pilots have had trouble cailbrating your compass. I can't seem to complete the circle & 1/4 minimum turn for the double beep. I get about a half turn in and the green starboard light flashes. Ive tried speeding the turn to increasing the turn.....no luck with either

  5. I need a single arm extension or a Ram Mounut for a Furuno 620. The unit is to high for my dash mount and it hits my windshield. I have made several inquries including Furuno. Wondering if anyone out there has experienced the same problem and could offer some advice or help.
