Updating the Chartplotter and Radar

When we purchased the boat we knew the Radar (Furuno) and chart plotter (Raymarine A70) were tired.

Additionally, they were located in the nav station where they were of less benefit than at the helm.

This project is to add a chart plotter at the helm with radar overlay for use while at the helm.

So we’ve started down that road.  The Furuno radar and the Raymarine chart plotter is gone.  We’re prepared to install a B&G 4G radar and Zeus3 chart plotter.  As with all mods we have a lot of prep before the installation begins.

  • Core out holes through cockpit floor
  • Build chart plotter mount for pedestal guard
  • Run cables (power, ethernet, NMEA 2K)
  • Mount radar unit
