Hello! On our "new to us" 1994 500DA, we have newly installed Ramiarine Axiom+ MFDs. Also in the dash are these older B&G units, one of which is a non functional AP that we covered in an earlier post. I will be investigating the pump and the overall hydraulic steering when I am out where the boat is in Mid March to install a new swim platform. In the meantime, I'd like to make plans to update the remaining 2 B&G units with possibly Raymarine i70s units or something similar. Does anyone make a VHF radio in that format anymore? pics below:

I installed a Icom M400BB. The actual radio is up under the dash, and everything is selectable on the Microphone. Freed up dash space that’s always at a premium.
