My '84 Hunter 34 needs new instruments. The question is what brand? Raymarine, Garmin, or B&G? I would like to install a knot, depth, wind, wheel autopilot, and chart plotter/GPS.
It would be nice to get the Raymarine Evolution EV-100 Wheel Sail Autopilot since I would not need to install a linear drive unit to the quadrant but I'm not hard up on that.
My concern with these manufacturers is I have heard of interface problems between the same and different manufacturer's instruments and new instruments not working once installed. I do not want to spend any of my sailing time trying to trouble shoot another 'computer' system. Do that enough at work.
Any recommendations and experiences would be helpful and appreciated.
Stay well and sail safe,
