First shot is an older pic. I've since added a FF guage and my big improvement this year was those 2 momentary switches you see in the second pic just above the throttle. They operate the wipers. I hated trying to find the wiper switches in that panel. Especially when you're in rough weather. I always hit 3 or 4 switches at once. And it also bugged me when I stopped the wipers and they werent all the way left or right. So I put the momentary switches in right near where my right hand rests. Now I just push em' in when I need them.

Empty Pocket's helm.

I will update in 2008 with a 10.5" color display and mount it on the dash.

I will keep the current system and network them all.

Kevin G.

Photo updated with the new 10.5 NavNet2 and the Furuno 511OB autopilot installed. Everything is networked and Capt Otto can take waypoints from either MFD.

Finally got my camera back from the wife ...Here is a picture or two or three of the helm on MaxOut. I did all the installation and would be happy to answer any questions on the install.

On the dash is a Raymarine C-120 with all the trimmings 4KW Radar, GPS, Digital Sounder, Sat Weather, & Navionics Gold Maps. I opted for the largest screen and dash mounted to view from rear station (were i spend most of my time). I could only fit a C-80 in dash (flush mount) and would not have been able to view from rear. Top left on dash is the searchlight controls for the RCL-75, in the center the Jensen MSR3007 Marine AM/FM/CD/SAT/I-Pod Controller mounted in a weather shield. I chose the Jensen for the MWR-100 rear station LCD controller, functional I-Pod Interface & SAT radio. To the right are the Yamaha Gauges with Flow Meter, Speed & Tach. Below the searchlight controls are the trim tab controllers (never need them with the SL). Below that is the Cig lighter with light and ignition kwy below that. In the lower control picture you see the electric panel (full) below that the Icom M422 with Hailer/PA & Rear Station Controls. Below the VHF is on of four 8" Bazooka Two Way Marine Speakers.

I see a vent of some sort and what appears to be a breaker panel but I couldn't read the description on the switches. What exactly is all that stuff?
