Thanks guys. Went to the AC show yesterday and got a pretty good deal on JL speakers for the cockpit. Of course it has the original sony's which are all crumbling apart. Just to replace them I got 4 MX650's and then two MX770s in titanium for the transom. I think I gave 515 out the door for the speakers yesterday. No clue what the factory power distribution is to the topside system. I'm hoping my friend in NJ who has an 08 will know. Theres a 10 or a 12 in the port side seat cavity. Below it has 3 zone Bose surround sound w/ a sub in each zone.
Boat is still in Fl so I'm taking an educated guess on some of this stuff. Next up - Ray widescreen (at least one to start) and tilt/pan thermal camera. Don't want to be mowing down crab pots in the bay with the pods.. even with the linecutters. The newest model widescreen they don't have an adapter plate to fill in the gap that will be left by the e120 classics. So I might just go with the prior model hybrid widescreen. They improved the knob and added "pinch zoom" on the new e127 but for almost 2k difference, and the lack of the trim ring adapter I'll probably go with last years model.
Good news - all the oil samples came back with no discrepancies. No trace of water in the pods which actually surprised me. She does have a high pod pressure on one side which a certified VP IPS tech will be investigating this week. Other than that, all good.
Brenda, I STRONGLY urge you to consider a move to garmin. Their new 7600 series is awesome. Move to fusion audio head unit or black box and you can control everything from the display. Cameras are great, radar is great, integration is easy. Way better (imho) than the ray marine.
