I mounted a Garmin 543/6? at the binnacle--it has a wrap-around type bracket which holds it at any angle and which is screwed to a base of starboard spanning the binnacle guard.
It stays down below until I take the boat out.

This is a 5 inch screen unit that is about 8”x5”. I am in a bit of a quandary on where to mount it. On the bulkhead at the forward end of the cockpit will make wiring easier and be fairly protected from the weather. I usually am in the forward cockpit underway with the autopilot remote. For tricky situations where I am at the helm I would love it to be mounted on the binnacle, but I am not sure if I like the idea of it being so exposed. Has anyone tried putting a navpod on a MK I? Does the MK I binnacle guard have the standard 12” spacing or something else? I already have a PC plotter setup that I like, but that draws about 36 watts. This unit should be more like 6 watts and can support a radar if I want to add the antenna. If I cable it right I can send waypoints back and forth from the PC to the plotter. Only downside so far is I need a $170 chart chip for a $140 plotter to get any decent level of detail L Joe Della Barba Coquina C&C 35 MK I _______________________________________________ his List is provided by the C&C Photo Album Email address: nc-l...@cnc-list.com o change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go bottom of page t: ttp://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
