After several weeks, Simrad replaced this unit with a new Go9 in time for the 2023 new england boating season. This unit failed after 15 hours - same problem, refused to power up. They are now sending me a 3rd Go9 with a reminder my warrentee expires in June of 2024. About the time I will probably launch the boat. My other boat has a 3 year old Furuno at the upper helm and a 15 year old Garmin at the lower helm both still working perfectly. It doesn't seem Simrad builds with simular quality these days. Initial customer service seems to be based offshore as well.

App does not work App does not work. No weather data, downloaded maps do not zoom in to show detail. Customer service is useless, 1.5 hrs on hold only to be told specialists are in Europe and they are closed. Do not buy Simrad app premium.

Wow what service Wow What a service . I bought a Mfd just before lockdown then never fitted it and put it in a cupboard .recently got it out to install in the boat but unfortunately the software needed updating and the chart code wouldn’t load. Knowing the warranty had expired I contacted simrad who happily took the unit back updated the software and checked the maps were now loading correctly . They then returned the unit back to me at no cost to me .I sent it Monday and had it back by Wednesday I offered to pay even if it was just for the postage but they were adamant there was no charge . I couldn’t be happier with this sort of service so a big thank you to Simrad.

The NS EVO2.. The NS EVO2... Do you know Simrad wilfully and knowingly continued to sell these units well after they started receiving complaints about the touch screen? No, neither did we until the fault appeared after the warranty period expired. Their offer when we did a 'please explain' was a " remanufactured" unit (2nd hand rebuilt) with no warranty and half price. Found proof that they knew the screens fail at leased a year before we bought ours. How can you trust an organisation that considers that acceptable business practice? The transducer also has started to deliminate! Doesnt end there. The IS20 anemometer display could never be calibrated with the EVO2. Wind direction always off. Simrad? NEVER AGAIN.
