Carver Owners Forum

I also did the install of the new Raymarine EV200 Autopiloy. I had a vintage RayPiloy 650 that was tired. the pump was fine though. I have built in a Ray e97, and have a Ray e127 on a grunion mount. I removed the old pilot head, then made a new dash from starboard. Carefully cutting and placing. Here is is, from start to finish. I will commission it next weekend as soon as I get a longer cable for the EV sensor.

Nice job, looks great!

Thanks! Took a bit of ingenuity to make it look good!

Looking good T
I see you have two terminal blocks but I suspect it's only one network, correct? If so, you should only have 2 terminator resistors. It'll work with three but you may get some weird readings or strange things happening. You should also get plugs for the ports not being used.

Yes, the first block was for the 2 display/gps/radar transducer network. Then a jumper to the other block. I did get plugs and capped everything off. I have to say it was an intimidating installation, but very easy. I made it harder than I truly was.

So if you have a jumper to the other block it's a single network and there should only be two terminator resistors, right? If one of the displays or peripheral has a terminator resistor on it then you should only have one resistor on one of the blocks. A network should only have one resistor at each end.
