I think thats the case if the MFD loses power it will probably all need to be reset from the ground up. Only time i shut most breakers off is when boat is in storage.

Ok so I wanted to test this in real world conditions. The way I would normal do things. I turned off the MFD as i would at the end of the trip. Power stayed supplied to it and the radar. Left it over night. Turned the MFD on again in the morning. Selected radar from the screen. Message appears...

Got the radar installed today. Connecting to the MFD was pretty easy. Seems to power down and start up again without issue. I did not install a switch just power, ground and of course circuit protection. Thanks for all the assistance.

Ok so now im confused....... the MFD turns the radar on and off so i dont need a switch but if i turn the MFD off it wont reconnect to the radar unless i switch the radar off and on again? Doesnt make much sense to me.

So no switch needed. Thanks

This is the info i have. The unit only has two wires, power and ground. Comunicates by wi-fi with chartplotter.

I have a radar that was on the boat when we bought it but the wiring is not connected. Going to run all new wiring. I have looked at the manual wiring diagram. It looks simple enough. Power and ground. But it does not show a switch in the diagram. I would assume a switch should be used...

Thank you Everyone! I think i have a better understanding of what i have, what i need and where to get it. Looks like there is a dealer right here beside my anchorage that supports the Navionics cards.

Are Navionics the only chart option? Currently using navionics on my tablet and overall happy with it but curious if other options are available Thanks

Is this what im looking for??

It never functioned for me but the wires to the radar had no power. It may work, fingers crossed. No card in either unit for charts. Thats my main goal at the moment. Finding a chart card.

Still trying to determine which model it is nothing written on the device but i think its an A series. When i check online it says No update availble. I did find these two manuals. Pics attached.

I have two Raymarine chartplotters and a radar dome that came with our boat. The chartplotters turn on and show our location but only contain the basemap. Which is useless. Radar has never functioned. Plotter just says something like "radar not found" I will post a picture of the plotter screen...

I ended up cutting the bolts flush and tapping them down below the deck. Put in a few wood plugs and recaulked the area. Sanded the area. Looks pretty good considering the mess that was originally there.

Mast has gone to its new home.

Well i decided to just cut the bent portion off. Ground it down nice and smooth. I figured the portion that was curled was not acting as a rudder surface anyways. I have not removed any useable surface area but hopefully did remove any possible drag or other steering issues. We will see if...

I would have to drop the ceiling to acess the studs from the bottom. Not worth the hassle to me. I have to recaulk the teak anyways so i will just fill in the holes etc at the same time.

So what i ended up doing was using a chisel i split the block in line with the studs. Then using the chisel lifted the block a little and used a crow bar to pry the block free. Next step grind the studs flush and seal it all up.

A couple of days at most :( Moving us into a slip tomorrow.

Please let me know asap otherwise I have to dispose of it. Marina rules.

Thats the big issue. There is no fasteners visable from the top. The mast was original from the manufacturer and it probably is fastened from the inside. :(

Its smack dab in the middle of the upper deck. Big trip hazard. I guess i will try to grind down the bolts and hack the wood apart.

Removed the mast from our PT-38 but not sure how the base it was mounted to should be removed. Any ideas?

Free mast available. Came off a 1980 CHB PT-38 Must pick up yourself in Indiantown Florida

Thanks for the part #'s. I was able to source one and got it installed today. Thank you everyone else who responded as well.
