I'm thinking about upgrading. Has anyone done Ray E or C80 flushmount on a 25? Looks to be a tight fit, was wondering it works.

Anyone put a Raymarine e80 in a 25 helm?

I installed a C-120 on my CC 25. I made a mounting frame to tilt it up some and to clear the dash underneath.
As you can see I moved the interment gages to one side to make room.
I also made the unit so it can be removed with ease and stored at home.

I bought the plastic at Tap Plastics. Not sure if they have any in your area, I live on the west coast in Portland Oregon area. The plastic can be worked with most wood working tools. I cut the pieces to the shape I needed, glued them together, rounded the edges and than fine wet sanded to remove the gloss finish as I liked the mat look better. Here is the link to Tap Plastics.
Here is a pic of the frame in process.Attached Files

I flush mounted a Garmin 3206 up in the L/H electronic box which fit very nicely but a little hard to read underway. I really love Garmins Blue charts but I also want to install a larger unit either Furuno VX2 or the Raymarine E or C series with radar. This will give me a back-up system. How do you like the Raymarine? Any problems? Thanks Charlie2004 Carolina Classic 25, Volvo KAMD 300 diesel...."SHARKTALES"

I have only run the C- series for one season and so far I am very pleased with it and have had no problems. The screen is awesome
I had a Raymarine Pathfinder on my other boat for several years and loved it.
I have the DMS 300 hooked up to it with a transom mounted transducer and I am not to happy with the transducer setup. I was watching your thread on the Airmars M260 in hopes that it may be the way to go.
It works “ok” for what I need. Most of my fishing is off shore for Halibut or for Tuna.
Most Halibut fishing is in about 500 feet of water, some times I can get a reading but most times it will not show much.

I am in the process of installing a C-70 series in my helm,(starboard, upper panel) I took out the original Garmin and built a Starboard frame to enlarge the area. I am now going to enlarge the hole to fit the new unit. I am then going to build a cover for the top because I think the new unit will pop out the top of the dash.
I haven't started cutting yet, a little scared, I will send pictures during the process. Wish me luck...
