Reputable website to buy boat accessories?

[Chas0218]

Wondering if anyone has done any business with WMJ Marine or Star Marine Depot?  They seem to have the best price for Autopilot units I was looking at.

_{Which autopilot are you looking at getting?  I've been shopping around so I know the prices pretty well.}

I've dealt with hodges marine and they seem to have the best prices on electronics, if your looking to do the install yourself.

Not sure if they have auto pilot but check C-ME marine. Prices always good

Anchor Express has treated me well if they have what you are looking for. Low price guarantee.

To get a good answer on that question and many opinions on different products, you should really go to a website called "The Hull Truth".

Found it at star marine for $1283. It's the best price I have been able to find.

If your looking for T70154, its $1259 at anchor express.

Nice! That is the one I am looking for.  Every couple bucks really helps the the old wallet.

I always buy my electronics at Semperfifishing and because I am a Hull Truth member I get an additional discount. This is the cheapest way to buy marine electronics that this cheap skate has found.

Looks like Hodges has the best prices on both the AP and the steering.  That who will be getting my money.  I have also read some iffy reviews on the 2 sites I listed and it seems Hodges has great customer service.

 

Thanks for the help guys I really appreciate it.

Concur. That's where I bought my Sitex autopilot. Mike's Marina did my install and I couldn't be happier. Hodges was very helpful in recommending the right unit for my steering type and Sitex was aslo very helpful in answering questions on the install because those mechanical steering units are a little tricky setting up. A lot of guys buy hydraulic units for non hydraulic steering because they're cheaper than mechanical steering units and end up burning them out. Just remember to buy the unit that matches your steering type.

Yup I originally was going to get one of the mechanical units to put on the hydraulic steering because there was no way I was going another season without hydraulic steering. I wanted something that was ready to setup and be worry free, I heard that the mechanical drive units go bad more often so that's why I shyed away from them.
