Navigation station upgrade

The old navstation was due an upgrade. The old one where full of old instruments that weren't working. The swichpanel where outdated. Insula needed new  propper electronics.

What did i do?

I cut out the space where the old instruments where and build a new cabinet door. The door should be so it will be possible to get in behind the instrumnts at all time. No skrews to undue first.

List off new instruments etc:
  • SEATEC - Switch Panel, 3/6/9 Series, SEATEC - Switch Panel "SKV-9
  • STANDARD HORIZON - VHF DSC Marine Radio GX1600
  • Raymarine -  ST60+ Graphic Display
  • Blaupunkt - FM radio
  • Furono - GP32
  • BLUE SEA - Dual USB Charger
  • BLLU SEA - Cigarette Lighter Socket and Connector



The old navstation. Notice the old log and wind inst.

The hole panel has been taken out.


The new navstation. including: 9 swich - panel, FMradio, VHF radio, inst. display, GPS, 220v socket, lighter socket and new USB power socket.

Notice the "cut out" and all the inst. placed in the new cabinet door.

Tried to clean up as much cable as possoble.

Upgrading the stereo

I just finished upgrading the stereo with these to great passive speakers from B&O BEOVOX CX 50. They sound great with the old trusty Blaupunkt car stereo. But the y would sound perfekt with a ekstra amplifer. But it will use ekstra power juice an therfore i must forget it for now. I bought the speakers throught danish ebay: www.dba.dk

Speakers before cleaning.

Cleaned and ready for new foam.

the middel/ woffer needed new foam around the cone. Bought them throuhgt a german site: audio-parts.de 

SB side ready.

BB side ready
