simrad

I'm looking for a simrad wheel pilot 32 or 30in good working condition. These are no longer in production, and I'm hoping to find someone who has upgraded. I'm interested in this type because its a fairly simple installation - doesn't have all the bells and whistles, but would allow me to step...

Have any of you seen the Simrad BR24 Broadband Radar in actual use ? The review I just read in the latest SCCA Ocean Navigator issue makes it sound as if we are getting into the radar market at just the right time ! I'm just wondering if it is too good to be true ? -Sven

I have an old Navico Coran wheel pilot on my E27, which has always worked like a charm. Recently, it has gone awry, working well for a couple of minutes, then veering to port. The only thing I have changed, is I have a small 4 pin electrical socket on my binnacle for my GPS, and I recently...

I may be able to purchase a Simrad autopilot. The WP32 is no longer being made and the unit is new old stock. Anyone have experience that can help me decide if this is a good risk? Anyone know if parts are available for these things? Are these units reliable? I like the idea of installing a...

I have been having problems for a while now with my new Simrad IS20 instruments but I have held off commenting until now. Over the winter I did some fairly extensive work and this included a new set of Simrads latest instruments the IS20 line. This is a network system that runs on "Simnet"...

I think I've decided to go with the Simrad ST22 for our E29 based on all I've read here. However, I'm curious as to how you connect this to GPS to have the control from the GPS head unit. I have a waterproof Garmin Quest 2 that we can use, but don't know if it would be compatible or if I'll...

I am considering purchasing a Simrad WP30 autopilot. My friend uses one on his Bavaria 37 and is very happy with it. I am concerned though if it will fit on the YS pedestal on my '84 30+. It seems to be kind of fat under the compass. Does anyone have this autopilot on their 30+ YS pedestal...

My autopilot on the E-38 does not seem to work. It has not worked since I have owned the boat. (4 months) It has power coming to it. All of the buttons seem to work. It will turn the boat when engaged by pushing the turn bottons. What it will not do is hold the boat on course when in the auto...

I have been reading over the specs (on the Sailnet.com site and on the manufacturer's URL) on these and they look promising as replacements for my aging and increasingly less-reliable Datamarine Corinthian round face instruments. Have any of you tried 'em, or heard from any sailor who...
