    1987 Radar and Loran Trash?

    Howdy, My 1987 vessel has 1987 Radar and Loran. Shall I dump them both in the trash? Is the Loran-C a collectors item now? Is there any value in the old radar antenna?

    Howdy, I’m new and have a trawler! - Kha Shing Spindrift 40

    Good Day! I’m new to the forum and will be picking some brains as I do a cosmetic and mechanical refit of my 1987 Kha Shing Spindrift 40 Sundeck trawler that I bought a year and a half ago! It has twin TAMD41A’s by Volvo Penta with only 900 hours on them. However, she came from a home with...
