Simrad feedback

Just installed a Simrad WP32. The install process was relatively simple, but not a 1 hr. job as some claim. Unless you plan on running an ext. cord to your battery. If you're a non-engineer type, I recommend to read the documentation well. Make sure you have enough clearence for the 'head' or controls. Seems to be a tight fit between this and your wheel. Overall, I'm satisfied with the unit.

Simrad Autopilots

I previously posted comments regarding extremely poor warranty service on my Simrad WP30. Parts only after one year and they will not ship a replacement for a broken belt, requiring the unit to be shipped to them at my expense and a $60 installation charge.
