I installed this in spring 2019. Here are related threads AutoPilot upgrade from manual hydraulic Field replaceable fittings for SeaStar 5/16ID hose It has worked flawlessly on long runs in seriously ugly crap and I consider it one of the best upgrades I’ve ever done on the boat. It crapped...

I have my 1242 plus xsv in the house on a battery to play around with it(I bought an extra power cable for it). Going to load/rename waypoints, etc. I downloaded the latest software on the Active Captain App. Easy peasy! Well, they made a big change to the user interface and menus. Going to...

I know many of you on this forum have Seafarers, so I thought I would post this to give you some ideas of what is possible. We bought our 228 new in 2006 and we had a Furuno Navnet system installed that same year (MFD with Nav/GPS, Radar, Sounder). Decided after 14 years it was time for some...

I recently had two Garmin GPSMAP 8610xsv units flush mounted on my 2007 Seafarer 228 and wanted to share the pictures in case anyone was considering such an upgrade. It turned out even better than I expected and I am so glad to be rid of the clear plexiglass helm electronics door that came from...

I few years ago I discovered Garmin HomePort free software that lets you sit at your computer and use the keyboard to enter and edit your waypoints Then you can re-import them to the Garmin units.SO MUCH EASIER THAN USING THE ARROWS ON THE GARMIN UNITS! Boat is high & dry for the season... So I...

I decided to upgrade the electronics on my 2006 282 Sailfish this spring. I went with the Simrad NSS Evo3 12" MFD, 4G Radar, and Airmar B175H 1kw Transducer (3-3/4"dia drilled hole). I am having a real hard time finding a location I'm 100% confident in for the transducer. The bilge has a nice...
