Well, it's in and I love it.
It took my friend and I about 8 hours total including wiring etc.
Sea trials went great! The unit is extremely quiet, I like that. Going between Richardson Bay and SF in 26 knot wind it performed pretty darned well. We had the belt to loose so it skipped some gears in a heavy wind, tightened it later so that problem should be gone. But it did an exceptional job.
Using the remote for steering under power was a dream, kinda like using a computer mouse :nerd:.
The company owner said they are working on a digital model, but are going very slow as the analog unit is so good they don't want to mess up a good thing. However, when it's ready, they expect it to be NMEA compatible, kewl.
Overall, it was very easy to install, it works, very well, has low power consumption, and it's quiet. Two thumbs up!!
