Yesterday we finalized our electronics selections. C&L Marine Electronics, Helmsman’s preferred vendor in Seattle, had given us two proposals, one for Garmin and one for Simrad. My wife’s brother is a marine electrician and has been recommending Garmin. He has installed a lot of systems and has Garmin on his Hatteras 48 LRC. We opted for the Garmin system with a few tweaks my brother-in-law recommended. Our package includes:
GPSMAP 86xx Series MFD (16” in pilot house and 12”on the fly bridge. )
Garmin Fantom Radar
Garmin Panoptix front looking sonar
1000 watt CHIRP transducer
AIS transceiver
Garmin modular VHF
Garmin autopilot
Garmin marine camera in cockpit
Fusion Apollo marine stereo system
NMEA 2000 displays (stateroom and salon)
C&L offers a 10 percent discount and a special labor rate for Scott’s customers.
