Simrad replaced all of your components THREE times!? How likely is it that you got junk three times in a row and so many others have had a positive experience?
FWIW, Simrad sent a technician and replaced components 3 times, but not all of the components. It's been several years and the few remaining brain cells left aren't working that well, I don't remember which parts were replaced and which ones weren't. I seem to recall that over the visits the radar emitter was replaced twice, and one of the 4 display screens was replaced, along with software upgrades. I don't remember what other parts were replaced.
Simrad and the dealer who originally installed the setup worked together the first time, and then Simrad's tech was on their own on subsequent visits. Yes, the support for the first few months was excellent. What burned me was that after a year without being able to find solutions, they threw up their hands and stopped returning my calls, and refused to let me return the system for a refund. I was stuck with it.
As with most things in life, YMMV.
