Re: Apelco Chartplotter 7000 and Antenna
On my Z280, I replaced the old Lowrance Globalmap2000 with the Lowrance Elite-5 Gold earlier this year. It's a bit smaller than the older unit, so I had to build a backing panel to fit in the old unit's place. I'm not sure of the exact measurements, but if I remember correctly, the Raymarine A50 unit was almost an exact replacement. However, the price was quite steep. That's why I chose the Lowrance unit, many more features and options for the $$. With an external antenna and the Navionics gold charts, it ran me about $450. Garmin, Lowrance, and Standard Horizon make good relatively affordable units. Just make sure and research and find which suits your needs best!
