A friend bought two HDS7's. The trickle down from that was me getting his Lowrance GPS enabled 522C AND a fixed mount VHF radio. He got the radio's bundled free with his HDS purchases. I put all this stuff into my Crestliner aluminum boat over the weekend.

Anyway, to get this stuff in I needed to:
Run new power circuits off the fuse block
Install a new temp/transducer for the 522 and cleanly run the lines
Get the 522 up on a RAM mount and onto my console
Get the older Lowrance off my dash and re-mounted in the back of boat
Install the new marine VHF radio
Install the VHF antenna

This was a big giant mess for hours. It's all now cleaned up and everything works great. This is JUST the kinda stuff I sort of like doing this time of year.

looks good. getting the stuff in usually ain't the hard part, it's the gettin it to look good and clean that usually take the extra effort.
