radar is mounted just waiting on the traducer to button everything up then I'll post pics , I didn't think the 18in Dome would look so Huge . the only complaint is with Garmin I guess even at over 1k for the plotter you get no owners manual (all on line ) but you do get a quick start guide on 2 pieces of paper stapled together.. I guess its to much to expect a weather proof card or something

Awesome! Same here, waiting on the transducer. My Garmin guy said it sounds like in the next week or so because he felt Garmin was pretty good at being close to their vendor supply dates.

I opened my fuse holder for my chart plotter (so I could have more on hand if needed) and the fuse was broken or I broke it. To your point on paperwork, it'd be nice if they said 6A 125v with a dimension.

And yes the radar is like having a toddler riding on top of your boat!

So radar install is complete 1st impressions of the new garmin 943xsv the display is crisp and bright and much more detail then my 740s but that honestly wouldn't take much. where i am disappointed is that with the bottom menu bar and side bar the screen is a just 1/2 inch bigger display than the 740s , I am sure there must be some adjustments I can make ! but with no owners manual its kind of hard to sit in the boat and figure it out and use most of the 9inch screen. time will tell

did some research last night and printed a few pages so it should work out , but there are a ton of choices between the radar and the Fish finder .. I was told make sure not to leave the ducer on out of the water they tend to over heat
