I have a complete deluxe pnumatic kit from CMI that I never used. I adapted my Corsa solinoids to work with the CMI diverters. It includes the pump relief valve and wiring harness I think. Think I paid around $400 for the kit but I will let it go for less. Ill have to dig for it so let me know if you want it.

Thanks guys. By what you said I'd be interested in the solenoid style. Anyone know what type and make they are?

Corsa. They have been called "Captain's Call" and "Quik-Quiet". I see them on boats I survey all the time. Seem to be the best set-up without the Silent Choice problems.

Corsa makes the system I have. Its been bullet proof. I was so glad to get away from the air system with all the leaks.

Here's a couple of pics of the Corsa solinoids on the brackets I made to adapt them to work with the CMI system.
