Thanks my friends are keen sailors and some others into motor yachts and picked this boat for me as a cheap starter boat! I have been told to update the GPS at the helm. Had a look online at systems. What is recommended?

Auto helm is Raytheon st4000+ wind and depth clipper!

Welcome aboard!

Good advice here, some bull - caveat emptor.
