New electronics and dashboard
#1
[attachment=1252]After buying our 2006 36 Open the Raymarine E-120 lost the GPS function. After trying everything I could including whatever the Ray Tech suggested it still did not work. After taking the boat home via Erie Canal I removed the old gear and installed a new dash made from 1/8 aluminum painted to match the top dash.

Did you make the panel or did you have someone  make it? I’m looking to upgrade my electronics in my 31 open as well.

I'm sorry Polesetter for such a late response, I made the panel myself.

I just replaced my FURUNO NAVNET Chartplotter/sonar/Radar with a GARMIN 8616xsc w/Fantom 54 radar... Had replaced my Northstar unit several years ago with a GARMIN 7612 chartplotter... I've integrated both units with NMEA 2000 & Garmin Marine Netowrok... Great system.  Also integrated my SIMRAD Auto pilot using NMEA 183 to the Garmin system.... Love it... See dashboard pic...

Very nice. I was really frustrated by the Engineer came up with the wiring layout. I am 6'3" and had to remove the seat to access the wiring. My breakers were going...1 by 1. I decided that the time had come to rip it all out and to start again. I completely re-wired the boat and while I was at it (purests close your eyes) I scuttled the Generator, HVAC, Engines and anything else that could break on a 1989 3100 Open. I installed a pair of Suzuki 350s, had a bracket professionally engineered and installed...Wow. Anyone interested in pics, send me your email - prescottsmith100@gmail.com
