Raymarine Sportpilot. It is a wheel mount unit and may not fit but I have had one on an old Slickcraft for 13 years and it is still doing the job trolling for salmon on lake Michigan about 200 hours a year. Did have to replace the electronic compass module once but at a very reasonable price. Even accepts waypoint data from my old Garmin GPS/Plotter. Biggest problem if it fits the wheel is where to mount the compass at lest 3 feet from any large metal mass (i.e. engine). Ideal is low and to the rear to minimize roll and pitch effects on compass but not easy in a small boat. Would you please describe your Slickcraft? I think I had a Raymarine Sportpilot, it may have changed, but perhaps it can be made to work. Thanks! -- Larry R rapp at lmr dot com |
