Wanted to replace the old RL80 with a C version but my arms aren't 6' long to get behind the old one to loosen the mounts from under the helm panel.
Can I get to it from the Aft bunk trim panels inside the cabin?
Was wondering if the display just pulls up or out from the front?
Help!
 
Does the trim on the RL80 pop off? If so the screws are beneath. I had an E120 and E80 put there and moved the autopilot over to above the wheel. Required a new dash panel and a trim plate to match where the nav screens go. Same boat.
Good luck with the project.

My 05 460 has the RL80. I gained access to the back of it by pulling the dash panel that had the smartcraft, autopilot and A/C eyeball outlet. Maybe 8-10 screws. With that out of the way I could get to the RL80 as well as the VHF and sounder module. Still tight though.
