7-24-16.  Radar and antenea installation:

I arrived to PL early and started to open access ports in anticipation of the eventful arrival of deck hand Bruce. Once Bruce was aboard, the real fun began.....  In truth, we made short work of running the wires and pushed the install through to completion pretty quickly.  Good job SeaRay for making a boat with accessible hatches for wirring. Our greatest issue was running the new Garmin wires down the radar arch.  Unfortunately whomever previously removed all the old electronics decided to leave all the cable in place.  This meant there wasn't enough free space within the arch to pass the new Garmin wires.  Once we figured out the wires were causing the issues, we removed the old cut up wires and the new Garmin wires came through.  With the large access hatches, running the wires into the dashboard was a cinch.
