GBUPDATE To: I ordered an accessory 24 Feb 2023 UPDATE: I'm revising my review. The company responded to my correspondence quickly - apparently there was a glitch in the finance system. My order was processed extremely quick and shipment arrive in less than 48 hours! There was no fault with the company. I ordered an accessory 24 Feb 2023 - as of today I have not received any response from Simrad concerning my order. The order is a simple power cord - nothing large. No response from any company is a no-go!

GBWeak MFD, multi function display buy different. Thousands of dollars down in the drink, for the lack of replacement tri-cable for their weather radar interface. Spent hours on the phone, gave serial numbers, I now think they were just full of sh*# and my nss evo2 is garbage. All because current cable has damage. Hours with tech support, escalated and told I need to buy new system for wm-4 equipment according to Supervisor! Nope, I will choose another brand as this not supporting replacement parts is a terrible excuse for customer service, sharing with marina accounts. One generation later product and no support? WEAK

GBWow 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.

GBNo GO XSE.... Got a replacement cover for a GO XSE. It was the most confusing and confounded experience you will ever endure. Nothing is straight forward. They don't explain you have to know screen size and mounting before selecting the cover. Much like other reviews it was not a good experience. The cover I got is a sloppy fit but most lively because it is not exactly correct. Seems to me when you sell a product the SPECIFIC manual should come with it not some catch all booklet. For a name like Simrad I think they can do better....

GBPurchased 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.
