my Sovran has an e120 raymarine with gps only.  I would like to add an open array radar to it.  To my knowledge there are no qualified installers within 100 miles of me, so who ever I get I figure I am going to have to coach a little.  That said, where on the top would you recommend placing the open array unit??  I guess I have to be careful relative to the hatches.  Anyone know or have it done??  Is there a schematic from Tiara about where to place this??  TIA.
