Put another way did your boat have mechanical steering? I do have a new Garmin chartplotter ,etc. I am in New Hampshire but am planning a trip to your area in the next few weeks, if shipping is an issue! Thanks and best of luck with the whole proces!

This autopilot is designed to drive a hydraulic pump and ram, it's not really suitable for a mechanical system, sorry! And it does not come with the hydraulic pump and ram, just the course computer, display unit, rudder angle sensor, and compass sensor.

I no longer have the box it came in, but it has never been used, clean as a whistle. I'd installed it on my boat, and was still in the process of other refit stuff when the boat was crushed. You get the unit itself, all the mounting hardware, two liquids containers, extra vent hose and fittings, and a box of coconut coir bricks. I'll get it from my storage tonight and take some pictures.

Thanks for the reply. Sorry but a couple more questions. How old is the radio and when did you purchase it? Will the ICOM or seller's warranty still apply and how long?

No problem. It's a couple of years old, but never installed. It was originally bought from Defender, and I cannot say what the warranty status is. Still in the original boxes, though I did remove from the packaging to figure out how to install it, just never got around to doing the install before the boat was crushed. All cables and installation hardware included.

I am not looking for any parts.
I just wanted to express my sympathy at your typical insurance company screwing.
Would you like to post the name of the yacht, its owner, and insurance company?

Hunky Dory · 10-01-2019, 08:56

Have you ask your insurance broker to look after your interests. Usually they will fight for you with the other company.

Are there adjuster's in the boat world that can negotiate on behalf of the owner against the insurance company representing the guilty party ?

SVLastTango · 10-01-2019, 09:16

I am interested in all the winches, the water maker and the stove. I sent you a PM with my contact info.

Thanks

Hi David,

Am interested in Gale Rider Drogue and possibly the Garmin GPSmap 1040xs plotter, like new - $800.00.

What year and model of chartplotter.

Is antenna and wiring included with chartplatter.?

I currently rely on a new RayMarine equipment and wish to acquire a repeater chartplotter for my nav. station.

My mobile number is 512 578 5806.

Please give me a call.

Cheers,

Michael Willinsky
