Hi
I am a new owner of a 2003 Catalina 350. The boat currently has a Raymarine RC 435 Chartplotter and the original binacle cluster.
The Chartplotter is a mess and the speed indicator is not working. Some web searching finds that there are no longer upgrades available for the Chartplotter from Raymarine.
I am thinking of purchasing a multi-function touch screen unit. I am fairly new to this and hoping to get some insight. I am in So Cal and plan on doing coastal cruising only.
1) Is any of the current wiring and GPS compatible with a new unit?
2) How complex is the install if I chose to do it myself?
Any insight and/or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Paul
