Sounds like you got an amazing deal on your package! My quote was 20k Lower helm Garmin 8616XSV 16", two date brow repeaters GMi20, Upper helm which currently has only depth to have GPSMAP 943 with a 9 inch touch screen. (went with a size that would fit the current space. Transducer Airmar...

I'm not a real computer savvy person, but for some reason the e bay site keeps trying to say I am in Mexico, and won't let me switch to the US. beyond frustrated. I am in US (Washington state)

survey says hull info: XOD13709J708. our boat yard said that doing the auto pilot would add great to the already 20,000 price. I sure hope it stays usable. It's one of the few things that seems to work ok. I just hope I can figure it all out. Way out of my league and really missing my...

Not sure about the model, as the boat is 6 hours away. on the purchase survey it says it is "AP 26", but not a high degree of confidence, as several things were incorrect after I started looking into it. All the electronics were as installed in 2008, so doubt anything was a plug and play, but...

Thanks. I had seen that on a google search, but didn't know if the lithium ion rechargeable would work. No port or anything to recharge, and I'm not even sure Lithium was around when the boat was purchased with the remote. I'll see if they have pics of the sides for the contacts to work. If...

Thank you. that's interesting. So far I have come up empty on the battery replacement. also interesting is your comment about a wired control panel. when I got a recent quote re: other updated electronics package, they told me if anything auto pilot involved would add greatly to the price...

I wish there was a manual with it, or some amperage info printed on the battery to help me know if I could modify something that was compatable.

That would be awesome. You can give him my e mail if he needs it. I'm six hours away from the boat. (Boat is in Anacortes). my boat yard didn't have any ideas. I was surprised that SIMRD didn't reply to my e mail and didn't have any contact number I could find. The auto pilot from the main...

I saw that too but dimensions and hook up don't match the pic of the battery in the unit I have a pic of. The two copper clips on top and bottom of blue battery have a little end piece that connects to each side of the battery, and those clips touch the other side when closed. see crude...

Would sure be nice to have a working remote for the auto pilot on the fly bridge. Opened up the remote and tested the battery. Nada. E mailed Simrad t two weeks ago. No response, and I can't find a contact number. Battery numbers on existing battery don't match what e bay has, and I'm pretty...

The next time I go to the boat, I can take pics of the hatch area open as well as better pics of the whole hatch. Might not be until late June as we have a sons wedding in June. When I removed the hatch in late September I had made a wood cover which I used to cover the space during the...

here's a pic of the bow area underway. I didn't take a pic of it open. there are two drains. one on either side, which I would guess drains each side of the anchor well. Port side is the main chain locker, fed via the windlass, and the right side is the second anchor.

well, I guess I should count my blessings. not sure how water accumulation would be, both in winter storage as well as underway in head seas. is the 2008 the first model to do the hatch?

two years ago tried to get a Furuno guy in Anacortes to come out and fix the radar. The PO made repeated calls and couldn't get a response. I'm 6 hours away from the boat and the storage facility said they only install Garmin, so felt a bit stuck. another option might have been to put the...
