Wow, sure does. BTW, arrived home from va ca early Sat am. Whether was terrible today, so, never went out. Probably Friday before I let her run wide open. Let you know the speed once I test.

Speaking of RADAR!!! For this and other group members:
I have the original 2002 era electronics, including Sea Ray Navigator by Maptech (some won't know this) and analog radar with RL80C display. Complete list is below. I'm looking to keep the SR Nav, engine monitor displays, depth finder and Autopilot, which all work really well, while updating the radar and display. I just won a gently used Raymarine eSieries e125 Highbrid MFD on eBay, delivered today My plan is to keep the Sea Ray Nav, engine monitors, depth finder and pilot as mentioned above. Install a re-man Raymarine Super HD open array, the e125 and network to the existing legacy electronics. I'll use the new e125 for the color radar, Navionics charts and other capabilities I set up with SR Nav as redundancy/backup. I'd like some opinions on this plan as well as experience from the group on how these might communicate with each other. For example: Can my old equipment talk to the new e125 with SeaTalk, NMEA, etc.? Will I need converters or what? I'm not good with this just yet... Thank you in advance.
Current Configuration:
- Raymarine analog 48" open array radar
- Reymarine RL80C Pathfinder Plus Display/Controller
- Raymarine A70
- Raymarine ST7001+ Autopilot
- Raymarine ST60 Depthfinder
- Sea Ray Navigator computer by Maptech
- Dual Cummins engine status display's which work very well

You know we were so much in awe at being out on the water on this beautiful boat I didn't take notice of what the wide open was. I'll be back on her next weekend, as we're going out of town for a couple of days, I'll let you knowk.
Great stuff.
Yes, ZHOPKA is away for the winter. Inside storage an hour away from us in Milwaukee. I'm there a few times a week doing updates, maintenance, etc. for our upcoming first full season. Just bought new, reman, Raymarine e125 MFD and Super HD radar to replace 2002 era pathfinder. Installing it over the next month. Anyone know an easy path to run the new radar cable on this boat? I assume the path is straight starboard down behind the fuel selector valves along the starboard walls to under the dash. if anyone has done it, please feel free... See you all on the water soon.

We just went with an HD antenna for regular TV, a tmobile hotspot for connectivity and Amazon FireTV. It's cheap and if you do it right, can find any show you want without Directv or Dish expense.
I hear that the 510DA with the optional 3406E CATs makes the boat amazing!Just noted Zhopka has Cummins power plants. My boat has Catapiller 3196 motors. I replaced the aftrecoolers PDQ so she should be good to go for some time. Anyway, I'm running 660 hp a side; wot is around 30 mph plus dependent on weight. Of course I was really interested in the cruse power settings, on plane numbers and so on. I've been told the Cummins powered boats are much faster and their cruse numbers are better. Did you let the ponies run on your shake down; any idea what your boat will do.

Agreed, the 510DA is a wonderful boat. We came very close to upgrading to one a couple of years ago but the one we looked at wasn’t maintained very well at all. There were a few in Southern California we considered but decided to stay with our 410 since it is the perfect size for where we boat.
OK Sports Fans... Here are pictures of the completed electronics upgrade. The goal was to get new technology, functionality, aesthetics, without putting an obscene amount of money into our beautifully maintained, yet, 2002 boat. Out with the 2002 era old and in with (newer) Raymarine eSieries 12" and 9" MFD's, matching model depth & pilot control head, and remanufactured super HD enhanced radar. All hardware found online and purchased for under $4000. Cables, connectors, etc., were a couple hundred bucks more. All in for less than $5000. A brand new Axiom, radar, pilot and instruments install would have been well over $20K. So far, I'm really happy... Can't test fully until she's back in the water, but, this is exactly what I was going for. I'm not an expert, but, I am a bit of a pro now. Feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for reading.
