Nice job, yes it was more work than expected to install the radar. I had watched a YouTube install of the same unit but older and garmin changed the configuration of where that little cable retainer plate is located. IMO where it is located now is not as good as where it originally was at least for hiding the wires.
Oh well. I'm still waiting on my transducer. Getting tempted to buy the combo then just sell the unit it comes bundled with.... 🤔

Had a conversation with a very good boat builder yesterday. (He added three feet to the transoms of a couple well known tuna boats the past two years.) Discussing my rewiring project after this season, he urged me to buy wire, buss bars, Ancor products, etc now as he sees a real shortage coming in these products coming from China. So I need to get my act together or have a couple folks suggest what they would have me buy...

Ross give these guys a look and see what they offer... bought a lot of my boat wiring supplies from them...website says made in America. You will need heavier gauge wire from batteries to motor and to pos and neg bussbars to distribute power to accesories through a fused switch panel using smaller gauge wire(blue seas makes some nice switch panels).............. https://www.genuinedealz.com/
I just checked and they are out of stock on some items....so good idea to start gathering supplies now if possible |

Thanks RMarsh! Wow, I saw more sold out than available in the switches and tinned wire.... I might already be late to the party. At least my target date is for next season, so I have plenty of time. Just another red flag about how screwed we are....
