[CA] [CA11] replacing dual c70's

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum mdolesh,

Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject. I believe that you're on the correct path in getting a pair of Axiom 9 MFDs. When properly interfaced to one another, they will share all system resources and data. The second MFD will also provide a level of redundancy to the system. If operational, the currently installed GPS sensor may be adapted for use by the new MFDs. Better yet, I would recommend that you consider replacing the currently installed GPS sensor with an AR200 (provides both GPS and heading data to the system). If you desire radar features, then the currently installed radome would need to be replaced. For this application, I would recommend that it be replaced with a Quantum 2 radome. Given the age of the vessel, it is quite possible that the engines feature Mercury Marine's SmartCraft technology, which may permit them to be interfaced to the marine electronics to not only support displaying engine data, but to also support use of the LightHouse 3 Fuel Manager feature.
