Added and new forum section to hear your real world experiences with SIMRAD products.
https://www.simrad-yachting.com/
Both the GO and and NSS products are very popular within the Skiff market and do offer a lot of features for the money. Personally I have looked at both the GO and the NSS product line and asked quite a few Skiff owners and guides how they like both models? Several expressed that though they liked both, some seem to prefer the NSS version since it also has knobs to help control the unit. TPS (Technical Polling Skiffs) and Flats Skiffs can be tipsy, so having a knob to help control the screens I can see as advantage. Another aspect that I think has help boost sales of this product for our area (other than lower cost versus others) is that you can also install a Florida Marine Tracks chip which all that have them, seem to have become a huge fan of using https://floridamarinetracks.com/
Either model though, many are flush mounting their units and since it can control many things (Chartplotter, Stereo, Engine gauges via NEMA 2000 input, etc) they are going with one single larger display and maybe a single digital separate multi-function engine gauge, as backup unit. This does help save on a lot of console dash space while also having a very clean and modern look
So we would love to hear your experiences, tips and troubleshooting issues you have hand with SIMRAD systems and maybe even more important, would you buy it again?
