Thanks you, Scott Bickwid
Thanks to Scott for saving me a bunch of money by fixing my Raymarine Satellite antenna after the factory tech had told me it couldn't be repaired. I was ready to buy a complete new unit. He also fixed my malfunctioning autopilot display by finding a loose connection. If you need electronic repair anywhere in the Daytona/Titusville/Cocoa area I would highly recommend you call Scott. MY experience has been that he always looks out for the best interest of the client.i

Re: Thanks you, Scott Bickwid
It was a pleasure. I'm glad I could help.
Re: Thanks you, Scott Bickwid
Scott is the Man! Recently purchased a Victron Inverter and Garmin Reactor with Smartpump Autopilot from him. Not only was his pricing the best, the ancillary knowledge of having actually installed these systems first hand that he passed on was priceless. As many of us know, he's truly a First Rate and very Honorable Guy. Thank You Sir - Scott.
Re: Thanks you, Scott Bickwid
Thank you too Scott.
Now do I wait for Bobk to respond?
Silly me. I did a few things for Bob over the years and had the honor of meeting Gail too.
Wonderful people.
Re: Thanks you, Scott Bickwid
Did you say Garmin Reactor with Smartpump Autopilot ? Do tell. I have been looking at that system for a while! Did you use convertors? How big is your boat? I wasn't sure if the smartpump would work for my application.
Re: Thanks you, Scott Bickwid
I have a Gamin smart pump reactor with autopilot on my Hatt and it works great.

Its not for 32 volt so I supply a 32 to 24 dc conversion system for my customers that need to use it with 32 volt systems.
I use isolated ones so the input current range does not affect the output.
I can help if you are looking to upgrade. PM me.
Re: Thanks you, Scott Bickwid
Thats why you always work with the LOCAL shop, more knowledgeable, always willing to do the the right thing, and they will take the time to work with you.
Re: Thanks you, Scott Bickwid

You are so Right.
Re: Thanks you, Scott Bickwid
Just a follow up, so far the Garmin Reactor with Smartpump has been absolutely fantastic. Eliminates the snake wake and really makes the boat allot more enjoyable while underway. I added the rudder sensor and remote control as well. The remote is great, pretty much eliminates need for 2nd head unit (which would be for upper helm) and is 1/3 the price. Allot of fun to steer a 42 year old boat by remote control. It was a big f'ing job to install - solid 25 man hours and fair amount of odds and ends (50+ various NPT fittings, Parker steering hoses, flare tools, Hynautic steering fluid, #8 wire runs, new circuit breaker, NMEA 2000 network install, etc, etc).

If you had a new 7600 series head you could use your phone to run the autopilot.
