B & G Electronics Good Stuff?

[Pgitug]

I am hearing and seeing more and more B&G. I’ve never had any experience with them. Are they a good option for a full set of vessel electronics?
What kind of repair services do they provide?
Thanks.

B&G is part of the Navico line (Lowrance, Simrad, and B&G). Decent gear overall, but I'd opt for Raymarine, Garmin, or Furuno.

In reading most their reviews it seems that they are mostly focused on the Sail Boat industry.

Good advice. I am more leaning to Garmin and Raymarine as they have a full lineup.

I prefer the Navico equipment over Garmin & Raymarine. I have the B&G on my sailboat, it's programing is tailored for sail. The Lowrance is tailored to fishing and the Simrad is more Motor Yacht oriented and is what I will be refitting my trawler with.
The hardware is all very similar and all the components play nice with one another when combined.

Good read on the current lineups:

I chose to go with Raymarine as at the time I was told that Ray's radar was a better product.
