Aio 0 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Looking for someone who can replace 2x capacitors on my AP25 unit as I believe that this will likely fix the issue I am having. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,313 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Maybe. If you have an AP25, what is your MFD/Plotter. Later versions have no specific AP controller, the plotter/mfd is one, the software is included. Alternatively, there are multiple models of AP controllers available, depending on what AP computer unit you have. If the drive unit is OK, it could be used with any system upgrade. Give me a call if you wish to discuss - I'm a Simrad and B&G tech dealer. Based in Gulf Harbour. Ph 0221539176. If it were me I would not repair this controller.

Aio 0 Posted January 16, 2023 Author Share Posted January 16, 2023 Thanks! I have the EVO NSS3 (x2). I have the AC20 computer on board. If this is possible, that would be great. Drive unit is fine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Island Time 1,313 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 The NSS3 has the AP controller software. Should work with the AC20 IIRC, but the AC20 is quite old compared to the NSS! So, Firstly the AC20 must be visible on the device list for the N2K. To do thatm the gear icon 2 x, then network, device list. Can you see the AC20 on the list? If you can't it may not be connected - check the network cabling, and ensure it's on the bus. Simnet IS N2K... Where are you located? Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm guessing I need to find a way to get the AP20 onto the NSS bus... Alternatively, what would you recommend replacing it with? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Alternatively, what would you recommend replacing it with? So the AP is simnet and the NSS3 is NMEA2000, Which are basically the same with different connections. Is the simnet network actually connected to the NSS3? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Winter 42 Posted February 24, 2023 Share Posted February 24, 2023 can you post a photo of the capacitors that need replacing? I may be able to help Quote Link to post Share on other sites
