[C320-list] Raymarine C80 chartplotter replacement

[Daryl Hunt]

Doug, Joe, Greg, John - Thanks for the feedback.  I'll try the 
do-it-yourself fix, if that doesn't work I'll upgrade.  I see that 
Raymarine has a replacement bezel that allows the newer e9 or c9 series 
display to fit in the same cutout.

Best regards,
Daryl

To those who have done the later, what have you upgraded to?   Looking for the easiest replacement compatible with my ST60 instruments and the navpod at the helm.
