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.

Would give zero if I could finally gave… Would give zero if I could finally gave up on hold after 3 1/2 hours what kind of company thinks a person will wait longer than three hours and just buy another product from a different company that actually answers the phone. They are horrible. Try spending a nickel on hiring a few more people

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.

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.

I upgraded to the 3S shortly after this… I upgraded to the 3S shortly after this version hit the market. Big mistake! I called Simrad every week, multiple times a week, for about three months. They don't answer or call back when they say they are going to. The equipment will not update and I constantly get a message stating I need to update. With guidance from Simrad, I have reset my system multiple times and still without resolve. If I didn't have about 15K into the system, I would gladly change it out for Garmin. I will never buy Simrad again. They have horrible customer service, they are dishonest and will say anything to get a customer off the phone.
