I just wanted to let you know I completed the system upgrade and everything is in and working perfectly. Splicing the ethernet cable for the radar unit with the crossover coupler was easy. I used shielded RJ45's. I think it's better to be wired over wireless. Getting the cables through the hardtop support was very easy. I ended up going with a 2 degree wedge for the radar mount (My top angles down slightly to begin with). I thought it looked like it was angled down too far but the level showed it to be right around zero at trolling speed so I was happy about that. I see a lot that are not angled at all and wonder if they are putting astetics over functionality. I still have a lot of settings to go through but the initial test was a complete sucess. The radar looks good, AIS showed the name of the cruise ship I passed, sonar saw 1400ft, GPS looks good and the basic engine data (Engine RPM) is showing.

Thanks for the support!!!
