My new to me 2008 Hanse 430e purchased last March came with same vintage
Simrad gear. I did the
removal and reinstall last summer with :
Zeus 3s 12” plotter
3 - Triton II displays at the helms
Simrad AP 42 auto pilot controller as I like the
wheel to adjust course
B&G AIS 500 - I wanted the combo unit with
VHF made by
B&G but it was not available due to supply chain issues
DST 810
Halo 20+
radar
NAC 3 AP
autopilot
I was under the impression at the time of
purchase that the Zeus was loaded with
charts to cover
Puget Sound and
Vancouver Island - that was what I was told at the time of
purchase. Turns out no VI. Found that out when I crossed into
Canada last week. After three days of being on hold, dropped calls etc, I finally got my C- Map chart down loaded. All I can say is RTFM - I used a 64 GB chip and they can only handle a maximum size of 32.
The only other issue I had was installing the WS 320
mast head sensor. I wanted a wired unit but I was unable to R&R the old cabling. So far the wireless
wind sensor is working fine. I should note that I also reused the old radar cable and spliced on the new run to the plotter. I did the splice under my
panels as access was best and dry. When the
mast comes down next time, I’ll replace it.
So far all is good. Love the plotter!
Fair sailing all!
