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

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.

GBThe first women who helped me was… The first women who helped me was difficult to understand and didn't seem to have a good working knowledge of the product. By my third call I connected with someone who understood the product and escalated when necessary. Bottom line we are still not sure why I lost my side scan icon on the home page.

GBI 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.

GBI needed an RF 25 N I needed an RF 25 N, rudder reference. I ordered it from a local source, but they couldn't, didn't provide the part or any information. I got tired of waiting and went on line. Simrad said it was in stock. I was skeptical, but ordered anyway. Then I sent an email saying that It is supposed to be in stock. If not cancel. They responded immediatly it shipped. I received it the next day. I couldn't be happier.
