A DIY (after Purchase of Installed KATO Radar Arch) of a Raymarine RL80CRC+ Radar/Chartplotter on the Starboard Coming and a RL70CRC+ Radar/Charplotter at the Nav Station together with Raymarine DSM 250 Sonar on 380-145, the Stevadora.

The Stevadora the day after we brought her home. Let the DIY projects begin.

Starboard combing, abreast of the wheel, easy arms reach for a right hander and doesn't block view.

Making feet for navpod stand out of 7/8 stanchion feet on metal lathe

Pre-assembly in the garage. Note the feet on the pedestal guard, turned navpod stand.

Stand mounted using 8 #12 1" ss screws through Suncor Stainless 7/8" feet

Front view. 7/8" feet had to be turned on my lathe to 1 1/16" outer diameter to fit inside guard.

SEA Talk GPS junction and SONAR module. I spent more time in this locker than behind the wheel.

Radome and swivel bracket complete. It's time to head for the boat.

My crew. I was supposed to be on the ladder. Instead, I took the picture.
