Hi Fred,
I have not asked them to be honest. probably not but, I'll reach out to
them too. The cinching factor on choosing the vendor was that I could
pay over 6 months interest free through PayPal. It gave me some
breathing room financially. Otherwise it would have been a no brainer
to buy from you. Have you ever thought about offering the PayPal option
for payment? I understand if you are not willing to contribute advice
to a non customer. No worries! I Impulsively purchased the AP for
$2660 just before the rebate offer expired and got the no payments no
interest for 6 months. It was a really good deal!
I did install instruments on my last boat. Plotter, Instruments and
auto pilot. So, I have some experience. Those were not all matched up
though. I was thinking this might be a bit easier using the connectors.
The AP is going to be a challenge in mounting the drive. I think that
is more work and fabrication than anything else. So, that will come in
the latter part of the install. I also have to buy the tiller arm...

Hello all,
I'm about to start installing some electronics. All raymarine. I
got the radar/chart plotter combo and a ev200 below deck auto pilot.
The boat already has raymarine wind,speed,depth instruments that were
installed last summer.
Is hoping I could get some advice on layout and cabling. These are
supposed to all work together. Are there any diagrams available to
show how to connect everything?
I understand the AP can be controlled thru the MFD. Would that lead
me to install the control head in another location so there isn't 2
at the helm if I install the Plotter there.
I've also acquired an iPad 2 with GPS I can use as part of the whole
plan.
Does using all recent raymarine ease the installation as far running
cable? I was thinking the AP components could all be installed very
near the rudder post under the cockpit. Course computer could go
there, then all the cabling to and from it would be short.
Anyway, any insights or direction will be greatly appreciated!
