[C320-list] New Boat - Instruments

Matt,
 
My C-80 was Catalina-factory installed---may add radar over the summer.  Haven't a clue re wiring.  Just starting to use it, so no hints yet.

Len,

I am going to install my Raymarine C80 over the next few weekends. Did you 
install a radar also? Which side of the pedestal did you run the wires? Any 
other hints?

Thanks in Advance
