Gee, Richard; I’m speechless… :^) Thanks! Mark — Defender’s current public price on the EV-100 wheel pilot system is LESS than my dealer’s cost right now. I’m hoping that means that Raymarine is coming out with a newer (more powerful?) version, but don’t hold your breath. They’re pretty tight-lipped about upcoming products.
If anyone on the list is looking for a wheel pilot, now’s the time to get one — $1159.99 plus a $300.00 rebate. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- on the hard in Bayfield, WI :^( > On Apr 20, 2016, at 6:59 AM, Richard N.
