Recently I contacted Blink Marine in Italy to ascertain if they could develop a replacement for the Electronic Interface Modules (EIM), Part Numbers: 1810628 (Forward) and 1970606 (AFT). A little background: Blink Marine brought the US supplier of the Sea Ray EIMs; however, Blink decided not keep the Sea Ray EIMs in their inventory therefore there is no availability of these parts. I am told that there is new supplier (Kinequip) for the new Sea Ray replacement parts that cost $6000.00 from the dealer. Blink Marine had me ship my port and starboard dash keypads and both the forward and aft EIMS to Italy. I have now received the new Blink Marine PC20 system to replace my forward and aft EIMs. The brains of the of the Blink system are two Blink Marine PC20 POWERCORE Management Enclosures (see the Blink brochure attached).
I have also attached the system documentation and the pictures of the PC20 EIM replacements that Blink sent me. The complete system was not inexpensive but the overall cost is a lot is less than half of any of the other solutions currently available; and this system is pull and play. The hardest part of the installation is getting to the front EIM bolts because of no space under the dash. If you interested contact Blink Marine at: info@blinkgroup.com.
(this was edited to correctly reflect that the new Sea Ray System is made by Kinequip. You can see the documentation of the Kinequip System at http://www.clubsearay.com/index.php?threads/what-is-an-eim-worth.95069/page-4#post-1100142 post #71)
