    Raymarine Autopilot Parts

    I have a fully functional ACU 100, EV-1 sensor core, and a 0.5 litre pump. All parts used but in excellent condition. $600 for all or make me an offer. The EV-1 retails for over $600. Very good heading sensor like the Precision 9.

    AIS FROM VHF

    If I were to add a Standard Horizon GX2400 Vhf to my nmea 2000 network, would the ais symbols appear on my Simrad GO 9? The catalog brochure only states that the ais symbols appear on the vhf display, however it also states that the vhf supports all ais sentences. Anyone out there using a GX2400?

    1996 Helm Chair

    Does anyone know who Grady used for their swivel and slide spiders in 1996. The slider on my helm chair wont lock due to the broken nylon bushings in the track. If I can find the manufacturer perhaps I could obtain some new bushings. Thanks in advance.

    Paint compatibility

    Since we're locked down here in New Germany, I guess I'll tackle some jobs I was going to put off. Several years ago I painted my hardtop with Awlgrip. I need to repaint it again since replacing radar and other equipment on top. I have a quart of Rustoleum Primer and Topside paint. Does anyone...

    Islander Instrument Panel

    The Islander helm, at least the 96 leaves little room for instrumentation. When I first purchased the boat I removed the door above the Yamaha gauges fabricated a Starboard dash panel and installed a Raymarine A65 and a Furuno 1715 radar. I am replacing the Furuno radar with a new Simrad GO9 xse...

    Raymarine EV 1 sensor core

    Does anyone know if a Raymarine EV 1 would send heading info to a Simrad NAC 1 computer. I cannot find the PGN sentences that the Raymarine EV 1 sends. I would assume the EV 1 and the Simrad Precision 9 to be very similar sensors.

    New Power on my 96 Islander

    First trip with my new Suzuki DF300AP. Never realized how underpowered she was with the original 250ox66. She now cruises at 25 knots and burns 14 gals./hr with 2 people full fuel and water and lots of offshore gear. Hole shot is disapointing with a 3x16x17 Suzuki prop, working with dealer to...

    Totalscan transducer mounting on 1996 Islander

    Presently there is a B744 in a fairing block on the starboard transducer flat. In an effort to keep clean water over the new transducer does anyone have any experience with where to mount and how to route the cable so it is protected and not visible
