[C320-list] Instrument replacement

The Quantum 2 is 17W draw in high power transmit mode with something like a
25 mile range.  It’s not that bad really.   For us...it would just be a toy
and if we ever got into a situation where we actually needed radar on the
Chesapeake...I’d probably have the iron genny running anyhow.  I probably
should mention that with the upgraded alternator and 462 Ah FLA house
bank...we no longer hoard amp hours.  I don’t think we’ve seen 65% SOC
since our original testing of the new shunt.

The wheel pilot supposedly works 1000% better with the 'optional' RPS.
After a few years of using it without an RPS, I broke down and bought one
this winter.  Unfortunately with our splash date fast approaching the
install of the RPS got relegated to the 'stuff I can do in the water'
column of my task board since I have bottom painting, rub rail and insert
replacements, and a few gelcoat dings on the must do before splash list.
 Will report back if the RPS makes a noticeable difference for us.

FWIW
