FU25 and FU50 Steering Levers
Environmental Problems
Simrad have over a long period of time experienced problems with water ingress on these units. Several attempts have been made to cure the problem without success. The only way to solve the problem is a redesign, which necessarily will take time.
Simrad have therefore decided to downgrade the degree of protection on these two products from IP56 (exposed) to IP22 (protected).
This means that FU25 and FU50 in their current version no longer are suitable for outdoor (exposed) operation.
Units shipped as of this date are no longer warranted against water damage.
Customers who have already bought the units for outdoor use shall be offered a full refund of their purchase.
If the product fails due to water entry while it is still under warranty a full refund of the purchase price will be made available and normal warranty requirements will apply such as proof of purchase.
