Welcome Jeff,
Just to add to the confusion, I can recommend looking at the SolidNav Explorer. I installed one in my Ericson 27 a year and a half ago and get great performance. If you're ever in Santa Cruz send me an email and I'd be glad to show you my set-up.

I'm docked in San Rafael at Loch Lomond Marina which has a very narrow channel out to deeper water. Both sides of the channel are very shallow, 1' - 2' deep and the cross currents can be fierce, so being able to keep her down the center of the channel is uber important!
