That is about the same cost for the Seastar/Telex kit and necessary hose pairs I ordered from WM…BOAT! I’m planning to install the shadow drive so hopefully it will all come together as some items are back ordered. Headed to Prince Rupert on May 19. 🙂

Good point, I’ll let you know when I get it. I would have just had everything made up locally but the only hose they had was 1/4” ID, 6,000 psi. My plan now is to make the T connections inside the starboard hatch in the Vberth. I mounted the pump in the hatch also. I’m trying to clean up the...

After much discussion with Seastar and Garmin I bit the bullet and will upgrade to the new Seastar hose that is 5/16” or 7.9mm ID, 1,000 psi. They said the autopilot will function with the older Baystar tubing which is .21” or 5.5 mm, however it would not perform as it should with the limited...

I will try the 3/8 compression nuts without the inner nipple in the fitting. Garmin recommends all the components be 1,000 psi rated. I’m not sure that’s the case but I don’t see any other alternatives. Thanks again. Ken

Can any of you tell me what components you used from the pump to “ T” into the hydraulic steering tubing. I have Baystar hydraulic steering. I had some custom hose made up from the Garmin pump which is 5 ORB to a “T”. I am having trouble finding the correct compression fitting to use between...

I wonder what science is being employed as the US southern border continues to be overwhelmed. If vaccination and public health was important, this would not be happening.

It looks like you will be running an electric motor by mandate in WA in 8 years. It seems to me the US could reach the most efficient combination of all available energy sources and technologies in the shortest period of time by fully utilizing fossil fuels...

Chuck, I was considering the 1.0 l pump. I talked to a couple different Garmin tech reps that recommended the 1.2 l pump that I purchased. They advised that it should do everything wanted on a 22’ slow or fast in rough water so hopefully that was a good choice.

Sounder- For clarification, I am not sure what is meant by the boats pivot point@?

Thanks guys. Nice installs and some great ideas🙂

I just ordered a Garmin Reactor 40 auto pilot. I’m researching the installation and it seems the space available on Lochsa will make it challenging. Where are others placing the components, particularly the pump? Any pics also appreciated. Thanks in advance. Ken

Thank you Bob. That’s what I needed. I have the factory 10 awg primary wire running from the battery to the helm fuse distribution panel. I have read some other conflicting info that a breaker should never be used but rather a fuse in this application. Any thoughts on that. Ken

My 2021 Honda BF90 came with 4 awg wire to the starboard lazerette battery. The length is about 6 ft from the motor head to the 1,2, both switch in the lazerette.

I recently added two AGM house batteries in addition to the start battery. The way I read the ABYC standards there should be a circuit breaker between the house batteries and the distribution system to protect that length of wire between the batteries and distribution system behind the helm...

Now that’s funny😂

Good info. Our intent is to be out on the sound most of the time except for fuel and groceries.
