Any good or bad experiences out there?  Thinking about the $160/mo roaming package.

The auto pilot is another issue. I get “hydraulic pump overload” and “ECU circuit overload issues” at separate times and the unit will not hold a course. I’ve also been told this needs a new system. 

A bigger issue is that new systems won’t work with my current chartplotters, so I’d have to upgrade those as well. Yikes. 

I want to see if there are some things I can try to do on my own in order to possibly salvage this equipment. I don’t know a ton about these electronics but I’ll be damned if I’m going to just fork over $20k plus right away to replace everything, so I’ll be diligent in my efforts here.]]>

I recently bought a '93 3100 that had just been repowered with C7.1 Cats and new ( in 2021 ) 
Garmin 942 xvs's for bottom and gps. I am now considering getting a Garmin Fantom 24x radar and using a 1042 xvs for the radar display.

I have a flybridge and fabric top over the main helm station. The old radar was mounted at the front of the fabric top under the floor of the flybridge. Does anyone have any experience with this setup? If so, do you have any advice on correct mounting angle of the radar? Is there an app for an ipad that would allow me to mount a pad on the bridge (when in use) that would eliminate all the wiring needing to be fished through the tower legs?

The radar would be primarily for close navigation and safety. I'm going to use binoculars for birds. Lower Chesapeake Bay VA.

Thanks in advance,

New installation Garmin 1243 XSV with Airmar B75M Chirp transducer

Installed the new transducer inches away from old one close to the center of keel just aft of fuel tank.

The sonar is getting interference and loses the bottom when I accelerate and travel above 10 MPH. 
Connected the old M260, which worked well with the E 120,  to the new Garmin and had same issues.

It appears to me that the location of transducer is the problem,  has anyone experience same and found a solution?
