Hi Edd LORAN transmissions stopped a couple of years ago and the transmission towers were torn down. But there is a new kid in town, eLoran - a higher tech version. It is being trialed in places where GPS is not so hot (far north) and in areas where either GPS failure or GPS jamming would be

Hi Josh, Edd, I just put the whole collection up for fun. There are more single tier panels like mine (the 4th photo in the set) and not as many two tier like yours. There are a few other variations, such as the ones with different breaker panels (usually the boats built in '93 or '94) and a cou

Edd, In one of the pics you can see where I epoxied some scraps of the ABS on the inside of the panel to make it thicker. Josh On Jan 7, 2014 4:38 PM, "Josh Muckley" wrote: > Edd, > Her are the pics you requested. I suppose it probably needs two more > latches in the middle. It has a little r

Edd, Her are the pics you requested. I suppose it probably needs two more latches in the middle. It has a little rattle right now but being that we didn't have solid plans I didn't want to make drastic modifications. Ken, You can add my Nav Station to your collection. I cleaned off the winter

Edd, I'll get pics today. 1/4" plexi would work well. The 1/8" was actually too thin for the latches to latch on the back panel. I had to thicken it a little. Josh On Jan 7, 2014 10:37 AM, "Edd Schillay" wrote: > Josh, > > I would love to see some pics. I was thinking of going with black > s

Josh, I would love to see some pics. I was thinking of going with black semi-translucent panels that could give me some easy access and be easy to cut into. And, I could put “bridge graphics” in the areas where I have nothing (http://i.imgur.com/4nchY.jpg) Could make for an int

Hello Edd, If your instrument panels are the black plastic ones you could have three black anodised aluminium (or plastic) panels made to cover the entire area and make new cut-outs for your instruments. I think C&C did this with some 37+'s from the factory. Here is a link to 4 different 37+'s w
