xx questions on DDU and GPS
March 01, 2010, 19:42:25 PM by edge
does the DDU on a 2001 SX come standard with air water and depth sensors ?

Does the GPS option work with ACCUSKI to provide a more accurate speed input or is it strictly a navigation based option ?

thanks

xx How much $ for low hour SX22 ?
February 22, 2010, 21:31:48 PM by edge
Is 21K too much money for a sub 200 hour SX22 ?  I currently have an Epic 21 and want to replace it with an SX22, I am close to closing a deal on the boat and was curious to hear the opinions of some of the members on the forum.  A few friends are telling me it is too much $, but then they have never owned a toyota>  I will be pretty hard to convince that  I need to pass on this boat but I would appreciate your opinions.

Second question is the build quality as good on the later toyotas as on the 1999 Epic 21, my 21 has been a great boat with super reliability.

Third question, how different is the sound of the SX22 compared to the 21, I noticed  the SX does not have the dual outlets like the 21 and I really like the sound of the 21 ?

thanks

xx Stock Speedometer now has a New GPS Interface
February 17, 2010, 05:35:47 AM by Wet-N-Frugal
It goes without saying, there's been a lot of PAIN AND SUFFERING with Toyota's gauges.

For immediate relief, I've designed a new GPS interface that is PLUG and PLAY directly
with your stock speedometer.

Here's a quote from Cyclone, and he's absolutely right:
"Your stock speedo system will drive you mad. Your hair will turn grey and fall out. Your
blood will boil and your stomach will churn until you put Perfect Pass on your boat. I'm
just sayin........You need an accurate speedometer and the stock one sucks."

Yet, let me clarify. The speedometer gauge itself is not the problem, it's the computer
(MMDC) that drives all the gauges. Specifically, the computer's speed sensors (the pitot
tubes) and the interface to them ARE ABYSMAL. The speedometer gauge is a sound design.

Perfect Pass is an excellent solution. My friends have them in their boats and they are
wonderful. Star Gazer is the best answer for there's no requirement for a major hole in
the hull for a paddle-wheel speed sensor. And you'll find paddle-wheels still wander and
require recalibration.

If you are looking for a more economical solution then I have the answer. This new device
does NOT require any custom wiring. It uses a variety of GPS Receivers that are readily
available in numerous stores, from several manufacturers. The GPS Receiver is now the
speed sensor.

The installation is very clean. It's inserted between the speedometer and its existing
wire harness. Unplug the connector from the back of the speedometer and plug it into the
new device. Then plug the new device into the speedometer. Place the GPS Receiver on your
boat and route its cable/connector to it. Plug it in to the new device. Your done.

This new device is called the NL2.

I've created a web site to answer your questions, and allow you to purchase one (we have
a few in inventory).
