VHF replacement on C 40
Does anyone have experience with removal/replacement of a VHF radio on a C 40? The radio is mounted in a glass panel on top of the helm. There is no access underneath nor behind. The best I can figure, the caulk has to be removed to take the panel off. From the Standard Horizon user manual, the mounting bracket can only be loosened from behind.

Re: VHF replacement on C 40
What model Standard Horizon VHF do you have?

Re: VHF replacement on C 40
I looked up the manual of your model and you definitely need to get to the back to remove the VHF. It looks like a chartplotter right beside it so I suggest you remove that to give you a large access hole to be able to reach the 2 screws behind the VHF. That is how I would do it. 
This shows how it is mounted. As you can see it gets sandwiched by a screw head on each bracket. Probably best to remove those brackets and the unit will fall out.
Welcome the forum by the way.

Re: VHF replacement on C 40
Thanks! I briefly tried to remove the chart plotter but didn’t have my owners manual on board. I’ll try that next.

Re: VHF replacement on C 40
The trim around the plotter prys off exposing a screw in each corner. Remove those and the plotter lifts out. Do check your manual though as they may have changed things on your model.

Re: VHF replacement on C 40
The trick will be if the screw is actually a bolt with a nut on the back.

Re: VHF replacement on C 40
Right you are. When I mounted mine I used a non nut screw just for this purpose. Forgot it came with nuts which I thought was dumb but I guess it is there to deter theft. Now you all know I have no nuts.
