JRIRVINE1 Re; the replacment of the SRN II's. Did you have to change out the array as well?
Jim would not have to replace his scanner because he got a Raymarine system AND and single Sea Ray Navigator.
When Sea Ray ships a boat with the Navigator, you have two options:
1. All Sea Ray Navigator stuff tied to a Simrad/Maptech/Koden radar antenna
2. Raymarine stuff (or other party) with the radar being tied to the Raymarine antenna and the Sea Ray Navigator set up to work WITHOUT the radar but only as a chartplotter.
Radar antennas are typically tied to the manufacturers displays. They are not a mix and match items. When the original poster said he had TWO Sea Ray Navigators and the radar was displayed on them, it meant he did NOT have a Raymarine radar antenna. It meant he did have a Simrad/Maptech antenna instead. That's why telling the guy to go to the Raymarine site and look up antenna model numbers was silly.
So if you get a boat with Raymarine stuff and a single Sea Ray Navigator, it's pretty easy to swap out the Sea Ray Navigator for a secondary Raymarine display. If you get a boat with TWO Sea Ray Navigators, you'll have to replace the radar antenna unless you get a new chartplotter compatable with the Simrad/Koden antenna (don't do that). That's what I was saying about looking at two boats that are the same and one has all Sea Ray Navigators vs. one that has a single Navigator and Raymarine stuff. It'll cost more to switch the all Navigator boat over due to the antenna issue.
This is not that hard to understand.
