My electronics GPS and Sounder are the Simrad CE35 and supplied by www.advancetrident.com I Have found the Simrad product over the years to be nothing short of amazing really especially the sunlight screen speciality - when the sun shines on the screen you can still read it clear as day. The sounder is very accurate in its interpretation of whats on the bottom.
The boats hydrolic steering is the HyDrive system and is supplied by www.marinedirect.co.nz They also have supplied the boat's trim tabs, lights, and a great boating barbeque that you can cook up a feed on, no matter how fast the wind is blowing.
