Calypso was equipped from the Antares factory with a complete set of Furuno navigation equipment. It's served us well over the years but time and the saltwater environment take their toll on all things.
As one of our viewers once said, the only thing saltwater doesn't mess up is a fish.
Our radar started to be intermittent, only working when we didn't need it. Should we need it, however, boom! Radar lost. One of our two main chart plotters began to malfunction and so on. We'd complete repairs but we knew the time was coming for replacements.
After some research, we decided that we should replace everything. If we were doing that, we might as well go with a different brand of equipment.
If you're interested in hearing all about the brand that we selected along with the complete process on how we went about this major upgrade then please head on over to the blog.
We've written a complete blog post in detail along with before and after photos to check out.
