Figured I'd add the pic of the radar install that I finished yesterday. Had to also replace the mount because the radome sits lower than the open array. Of course there's no way that the two mounts could use the same bolt pattern to the radar arch. Because everything has to be hard.

Plotter finally arrived today and did a quick dry fit of all connections. Everything, including the new AIS, worked - except the autopilot

Haven't even started troubleshooting that yet. Only thing I could think of is that I swapped the two NMEA 0183 wires, but I was pretty careful. I'm sure in the light of day something will come to me.

Either way tomorrow is cutting the dash and mounting and tying up loose ends. Fingers crossed that I have a fully functional nav system by this time tomorrow!

Oh, side note. My wife has spent the past two evenings with a clear vinyl polishing kit trying to clear up some hazing and clouding. I've told her it looks great but it really hasn't changed much at all. Stupid snake oil.
