I've got one. Can't comment on whether it is any good or not 'cos I have never used it in the 18 months or so I have had it :? And I hope I never have to use it. :roll:

I found the instructions. They are in German, but I think they explain everything you need to know.

"Das Maschine ist nicht fuer finger-poken und halten in der hand. Wenn dummer wanderer Dummkopf ist easy schnappen der Mechanismus, break gute bits und have Funken-helle.

Wenn alles fast kaputt, pushen das button und relaxen und watch das blinkenlichten lights."

I bought a GME 410G in July last year. It cost me $549 at Whitworths Chandlery in Elizabeth St Melbourne. I've not had to use it but it is light and compact and compares better to the others I looked at. When I had a boat I fitted a lot of GME electronic equipment over other brands because GME seem to make a higher quality product.
