I would wire it to a relay with a hobbs oil pressure switch. This will prevent it from running when the engine is not running. Otherwise you...
Not sure if you will be running the boat or not but a water heater with an engine water loop on either the generator or the mains would be a nice...
It's definitely hinged. Not sure if it folds forward or backward though.
How does that arch fold down or come off?
You can "dead" crank a 671 by holding the stop button while you crank for 10 seconds. Wait 30 seconds before repeating. This is usually done to...
You can pull the ram and take it to any hydraulic shop. Nothing special about it but not cheap either.

My wesmar system (DSP5000) has two modes. One for beam and one for following seas. The following seas setting does make a big difference. Ride...

Hull design is only one part. Look at the glass in the boat. Force 7 is generally considered to have Large waves that would be breaking across...
For mechanical engines, such as DD, check out the actisense EMU. It does analog to NMEA 2000. There's another one out there but I can't remember...
One big advantage of wireless is anchoring. Can deploy or retrieve anchor much easier single handedly.
Depends on your existing controls and options. twin or single, bow thruster, stern thruster, anchor windlass. Was about $16k for my boat....
Check out https://fastseas.com/ It's really designed for sailboats but you setup the polar for a power boat and it works very well. Like $60...
