I will setup an order form tomorrow. Have about 20 that I can ship immediately and can produce around 8 per day if the demand exceeds that.

 

[Mdsmith000]

Awesome!!

This is great. Look forward to ordering one!

Yours came off the printer just before that picture was taken and is safely in its padded envelope.

Please let me know how it looks when it arrives.

I believe you should have a tracking number email from PirateShip.

what timing. My cover snapped last weekend when a dock line snagged it. This replaces the whole housing correct?

I have printed the bottom of the housing as well. Most only break the top portion.

There are two nuts and washers that go though into the helm. Once you remove those the GPS receiver will be free of the boat. There are four screws in the bottom that will remove what is left of the top.

Most will only need to replace the top portion which is quick and easy. The bottom is a little more difficult with a need to cut one of the wires and pull out the rubber grommet.

This is what the inside of the top looks like



Th is a replacement bottom



And with the GPS module installed



Both parts are available to order at https://jetboaters.net/forums/3d-printed-parts.118/

perfect as my whole unit is just being held onto the boat by the wire so I will need both top and bottom.

I use Neutron’s broken case for measurements. This is his repackaged in a new case.



I needed to cut the ground wire which is not connected on the boat side. I soldered and shrink tubed it but am not convinced that it does anything at all. Twisting and taping should be sufficient. It might be possible to use a small wire nut.

They should say GPS receiver on them so guests on the boat quit asking what it is.

I prefer the JetBoaters logo but I did print some that have GPS printed on the top.

@Bruce thought of everything...
