Anyone have any info on the fittings/hose required to install the Garmin shadow drive at the helm with the sea star system? Planning on tackling this week and putting my parts list together. I think the existing fittings in the back of the seastar is 3/8 but looks as if one side is npt the other is compression. Trying to reduce my back and forth. Any pics or tips would be appreciated.

If you had a Raymarine pump mounted under the helm you can use the fittings and hoses that were installed on the pump. If I remember correctly they are 1/4-inch NPT. I think the only thing I added was a couple of 1/4 inch couplings. Here is how I did it. Yep, those are a couple of PVC conduit clamps - the fit perfectly.
