New to boating and recently purchased a 2007 Sundancer 340. I apologize in advance for any mistakes but this is all new to me. I currently have a Raymarine C80 chartplotter with 40 mile radar. I find the unit cumbersome and hard to read (tiny letters old eyes) I would like to upgrade to a 12 inch screen. I dont plan on taking the boat out long distances at night or in the fog so im not really that concerned with radar i dont think. What im mostly interested in is seeing the charts and the depth of the water. Is upgrading as simple as plug and play if i stay with Raymarine? Does the transducer from my current setup work with a new version. Also i have the Mercury smart craft guages however im having trouble reading them as well for the depth. Do any of the screens tie into that information system transducer. Lastly if the transducer does need to be replaced, is that something that can be done with the boat in the water?
Thanks in advance
