We got to Jon's at 5:30pm. We went to Jon's to install a new chart plotter at his boat helm because the old one had displays that were failing. This is the old config:
We removed the old displays, cut the panel and made a new panel to take a new 12 inch display in place of the previous two 8 inch panels. We also installed an NMEA2000 bus, remade many interconnecting cables, replaced the old sonar, installed a new engine interface and re-installed the autopilot controller. A very long 12 hour day resulted in the new configuration:
Looks pretty good. Then we hit the road for a 3 hour trip back home to Vero Beach. A very tiring weekend but I think Jon is happy with the result.
Jon is very happy, thanks again for all your help!

Great work! It always feels great to lend a helping hand, and moreso if you made a bad situation way better. Sometimes, all a boat needs is a few upgrades to make it great again, and Jon's boat did need one. Thanks for sharing!
