[C320-list] Re: C320-List Digest, Vol 5, Issue 16

Sun Feb 12 11:23:38 PST 2006

Hi Matt,

I installed (replaced old Autohelm plotter and radar) last winter with a new 
C80, GPS and radar.  Wind Dancer is hull #394 so we have the old style 
straight pedestal with 1" tube.  If you have like I do, a full W, D, S, GPS 
and AP instrument pod complement the tubes on both sides are full of wires. 
With the C80 I also needed to change to the new GPS system.  We were able to 
install all of the new GPS, C80 pwr, GPS etc. cables in the tubes except 
when we got to the radar dome.  The new radar dome system uses a slightly 
larger cable that includes power and all data wires.  This hummer was not 
going to fit into any of the tubes and after checking with Edson I 
determined that there were two options; one, buy a whole new pedestal which 
would mean removing all current wiring, rebuild the pedestal and then rewire 
or two, run the radar cable external by coming up through the cockpit sole 
right next to the pedestal base and wire tie it to the inside of the 
starboard column.  With the project already over budget, option two was the 
least cost in dollars and time.  Since the deck grommet for the radar cable 
is installed behind and between the pedestal tube deck mount and teak 
swing-up table nobody really knows the cable is there.

Hope this helps a little bit.  You will love the C80 and the radar 
especially if you have had experience with older systems.

Good luck!

Ralph
