Anybody with experience installing Ridesteady near Miami FL?
I know the standard answer is "anyone / any dealer can do it following the instructions" , but I just don't want them to learn for the first time with my boat.

Just follow the instructions and do it yourself. It's one of the easiest mods I've ever done on anything.

The standard answer still holds. Much of the installation process is unplugging and replugging connectors. In case you were curious, both the install video and the manual are here: https://www.hydrophase.com/support?term_node_tid_depth=30

Most of our customers self-install, but many dealers have installed Ridesteady. Unfortunately, I don't have any specific recommendations for the Miami area.

Take an afternoon and do it yourself in the driveway. It's remarkably simple and you can do it with hand tools and following the instructions.

Biggest hiccup I had on mine was removing the "nubs" from the dash fill piece so the dial would fit in place. Few minutes with a hand file going slow and checking often and it slipped right in. The rest is plug/play with existing harnesses (that are clearly labeled and easy to find), then mounting/running wires.

I seriously think I had maybe 2hrs in my installation. Possibly 3 because I stopped to drink a beer or two along the way.

If you're looking for a custom installer. Cover my plane ticket down and back from Louisville and I'll come install it for you :D :D

I've never installed one either, but you better make that 2 plane tickets from Louisville so I can receive hands on training!!

You just want to party in Miami. I'm no chump :D

More the merrier though as far as I'm concerned.

If you do end up getting one and need help installing, let me know. Be glad to lend a hand.
