Per the subject line I installed the es78 with Quantum Radome and thruhull downward flir sonar transducer. Connected the radar via WiFi, everything good. Will test Radome position once out in Lake. Sonar is good at 7 feet of water. Again will test on the water and graphs from gps charts. es78 comes with Navionics installed. Have used them for 15 years, they are great!

I have the Raytheon 650 auto pilot. I purchased the seatalk to seatalkng converter. Connected the m both to the converter and turned on the auto pilot function on the es78 and they are communicating. I was surprised. Will let you know how piloting to a waypoint goes.

This project is going well. :-P
