Has anyone bought one of these from the USA? If they are as robust and reliable as people say then $986 inc delivery seems like a decent price. (well, plus customs duty) According to the website the current lead time is 3 weeks. Not that I'm in a hurry, but I do hear mutterings about supply issues. I was wondering if anyone here has successfully bought and used one?
The alternative is the Ev-100 by Raymarine, currently available at £1320 from Hudson Marine. But there are so many stories about their rams going phut. It's a shame, because I like the idea of a standalone compass that can be safely housed below deck.
This is for my long-keeled, wooden, 24-footer, weighing three tons, with a transom hung rudder. I previously had a TP22 but it went mad and steered me around in circles, so I'm looking for something a bit more trustworthy. All thoughts appreciated!
