funlovincriminal 137 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 Doing a refit of a Farr 1020 Has the barest of necessities at present, running vintage Navman speed and depth and that's about it. Looking for plotter, pilot, speed, depth and wind. Before committing to a full spend up does anyone know of a flasher boat doing a refit soon that might be keen to sell a boat load of electronics?

Island Time 1,184 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 The wind is usually the issue 2nd hand, as they are commonly the failure point that makes them prompted to upgrade. The rest I have a few options, and a few more over the next few weeks. Probably do something if you wish, but you might be surprised at the cost of a new system. Send me a PM or give me a call if you want to discuss. Can show you the options at Gulf Harbor if you wish - and the new stuff as well. Matt 0221539176 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
funlovincriminal 137 Posted May 11, 2021 Author Share Posted May 11, 2021 Yeah good point re: wind gear. Coming off 2 racers into a family boat I'm probably overestimating my requirements. Although being able to have the pilot steer to wind is knocking on a requirement these days, and having an integrated plotter on the last boat was a life changer.

Cameron 70 Posted May 11, 2021 Share Posted May 11, 2021 For the pilot I recently installed a Pelagic on Hard Labour after previously having had both Raymarine and Simrad tillerpilots... massive improvement! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCat 1 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 we are going to have a b&g h2000 nmea0183 system coming out soon if you are interested - not including displays and wind gear but there are options for that. All good working order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
