winter project 32a: upgrade electronics ('85 c&c33ii)
Am removing the vintage B&G hunter depth and speed instruments, replacing
with raymarine p70, i70. both are multifunction displays, and one - the
p70, is the control head for the autopilot. 2015 was my first sailing
season with an autopilo
FWIW mine is in the pod. Very happy with it there.

It's nice to be holding the wheel when you engage / disengage, so at the helm
is my preference too.

Dave, I originally put my p70 on the right side of the companionway. BIG
mistake. My reasoning for putting it there was that if i was to engage the
autohelm, i was leaving the helm anyway. Didn't work out like that, it's just
too far away and I had to go forward every time I made a course change

My good buddy Brian owns a 1980 32. He is an old friend, a great guy and

I thought some of you could answer his question about keel surgery...chopping

I've got my p70 on the right side of the companionway - otherwise I
would have an empty hole, or would have to buy another multifunction

Graham brings up a good point: with the newer Raymarine MFDs, you can control a
properly-networked autopilot right from the screen, which makes a nice backup
to the control head. You really NEED to have reliable control of the pilot at
the wheel, in my opinion.

Hi Brian, welcome to the list!
I've got a 1980 32, hull #59. Great boat but I don't know anything about
reducing draft. I've done loads of other stuff to her though so if you ever
have any questions, post them to the list, I lurk all the time. Mine is A4

Brian and David,
The best person to answer your question is probably Rick Brass. He has done
this project on his 38. I looked into it for my 38 also, so I can get you
pointed in the right direction. My keel (and most probably yours too) was
originally cast by Mars Metals. They can and do cast bo

Hi, anyone ever buy anything from sale-tools.com?
http://www.sale-tools.com/categories/Marine-Electronics/Fishfinders%7B47%7DChartplotters/
Their prices on marine electronics are unbelievable (literally). Seems
fishy but I figured it's worth asking. Some of their stuff is older so it
makes sense t
I looked at the a-series and e-series MFDs at the boat show and really
liked the integration of chartplotter, radar display, autopilot control,
and instrument display all in one package and on one screen. I'd encourage
you to keep the autopilot control at the helm...or at least within arms
reach.
Thanks guys - this echoes my inclination (helm) but leaves me with some holes
by the companionway where the depth instrument currently resides. I actually
have a small Hoffman enclosure to install the p70 at the helm, but hesitated.

Allen — by newer, I mean the e series, the c Series, the a Series and the eS

I responded earlier about the MFDs before considering what someone else
said about single handing and solo tacking. You should ensure that you can
reach an autopilot control from in front of the wheel (not through the
wheel). With the components you already have it sounds like your temporary

I had to tell Mars how short we were making the keel, and how much the lead

Thanks Fred. I never considered my E120 a classic, but technology moves on.
