Suction pump has to stay in mine because I have the cheap speed brakes. Jealous. Just rand down the plumbing today to figure out where it goes and I guess we flip coin to see which vacuum pump goes. Do you spend the time to remove the hard one now, or later when you have to replace it?

I do see a GI275 in my future (maybe two!).

I am NOT a Garmin fan at all. But my current airplane came with dual 275s and I have to admit, they're pretty darned good. I don't care for the 650 that is in the panel of my airplane, Avidynes are far superior, in my opinion.

I am in the same boat, and the easy answer for me was the heavy one in the back came out. Added ~12 lbs. UL.

Thanks for keeping your PMA8000BT, that made my day Fritz! Beautiful panel and now there is an airshow to go to.

We are on our way to Sun N Fun. If you are there next week, stop by and see us. Building D, right inside the hangar doors!

I have two, one above the other. I am going to take the harder to reach one out, which should make oil changes less messy.
