Garmin GPSMAP isn’t just a chartplotter — it’s the backbone of a professional-grade setup trusted by anglers, skippers, and commercial operators around the world.

We recently completed a full-system upgrade on a Surtees 575 — including the installation of the Garmin GPSMAP setup, a large 10″ display, a 1 kW transducer and the Maxtek hydraulic steering system and Garmin Reactor 40 autopilot. The result was a clean new dash panel, crisp wiring and a seamlessly integrated helm that gives the owner real-world confidence.
