My '95 2530

[kidfreediver]

740s would of looked nice and not as bulky if ur in to touch screens

Ahhhhhhh. But I wanted as BIG as I can get.......Mate to a GSD26 and Interface with a 4212.

I already checked...... 740's will not do that.


740

Garmin Marine Network™ compatible No
GSD™ Black Box sonar support No

740S

Garmin Marine Network™ compatible No
GSD™ Black Box sonar support No

The touch screen was not what I was after also...That would have been a 5208

There is so much to this stuff and it has a learning curve. Sure Garmin's are the easy machine to operate, but there are things down in the bowls of the units that you just have to go look up.

Keeping the top unit and bottom unit's operation the same was key.

They function exactly the same. Only differance is 4212 = 1500 waypoints and 6208 = 5000 waypoints.....Yes I have 1800 waypoints.
The processor is faster in the 6208, so the redraw rate is much faster compared to the 4212. The 4212 came with the boat.

Blue Angles come Home to P'Cola beach. Record Crowd and we were there.

We were in Quietwater....That is the East Sound side.

This pix was taken before 2 other boats joined us.

This is also what the "Emerald Coast" looks like. The Emerald Coast Goes from Pensacola to Panama City along NW Florida.

This pix does not even begin to show how packed it really was. This was the Blue Angles Homecoming which did not happen last year due to "O'dumbo".

We were at about 3:00 in this pix.

Quite a crowd! :shock:
We always enjoy the practice session and the show here during Commissioning Week.

One of the best threads I've ever read. Thank you for documenting your excellent work. My work will improve because of it.

 

[warthog5]

Glad to hear and help.

I did a little work on it today, with no documentation.

I added a this unit.

A 2 wire hook up and 2 RCA jacks plug in.

I recently advanced to a Smart phone. [Samsung S4 Active]

Turned on the radio and looked at my Bluetooth page on the phone....It found it and locked in. Switch radio to Aux and the music on the phone was being pumped out the boat speakers.

[ThePeterParker]

Looks Great!! All the best with the new ride

 

[kidfreediver]

Like borat would say "I like"

 

[Megabyte]

Bobby... is it turbocharged or supercharged?

I used a conversion table and 3.5L = 213.5831 cubic inches.
How do they get such a high tow rating from 213 cu/in?
Amazing.

Zowie looks grest! I had no idea an F150 could tow that amount of weight ...
