I bought this configuration minus the pump as I reused a pump that was installed in the old unit. The best feature of this unit was simply how easy it was to install. I chose to install this unit since it stated it did not need a rudder reference unit. Initially, I ran into issues with software incompatibility as the version that was shipped with the acu was ver 3.11 and was found to have problems operating without a rudder feedback unit. It took a little research and calls to raymarine to determine this. Now here\'s where an issue popped up. You \"cannot\" update the Raymarine components without an MFD. So, you have to either find a local dealer/service provider or ship the hardware back to your reseller for updating. The only dealer in my geography did not have an MFD to loan or available in the shop to perform the updates. Raymarine should make this a mandatory requirement for their dealer network. I recommend this unit. I reached out to Binnacle, Tony, specifically, who reached out to Raymarine and they sent me an MFD to update my various components. The update process was very simple and only took about 20 minutes. With the system updated, their was a vast improvement in the performance, but based on my research and discussions with tech support, I suspect a RFU (rudder feedback unit) will provide even better performance. I have to say the support provided by Tony was great and appreciated, and kudos to raymarine for stepping up with the loaner MFD. Regards
