I was very impressed with my experience… I was very impressed with my experience on the Simrad Yachting site. The products were listed in a logical fashion and easily understandable. The cart & checkout was simple and effective. I received my order in much less time than I expected. The order was complete, well packaged and exactly what I ordered. Overall, a great experience and I will oder from them again!

Purchased a Go9 in June of 2022 which… Purchased a Go9 in June of 2022 which had a 2 year warantee and it lasted 7 hours then refused to power up. 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.

Wanted to purchase a transducer for… Wanted to purchase a transducer for SideScan capability. Representative looked up the correct part number based on my unit’s serial number. Ordered and received the part in a few days. Gave 4 stars due to seeing the same item on EBay for $100 less.

Purchasing through the website is easy… Purchasing through the website is easy and very effective. Simrad should get 5 stars for that. Unfortunately tech support is hard to reach, and although they are very kind and serious, don’t expect a follow up to a problem left unresolved. Great products, but not easy to use, and support needs more staffing.
