Vigil Radar

[Don Woodruff]

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for a Vigil RM Radar? My 1980 365 came with this radar and it was working. Once the mast was un-stepped and re-stepped the unit would not acquire. I think there is a cross over in the wires by the gally sink. A wiring diagram or a sketch of the wires and colors on the terminal block on the back of the instrument box would be a big help.

Thanks,

I have the same radar,(or very similar) and might have something in the pile of stuff that came with the boat. We just moved so it may take some time to find it. Also I don't think I will be using the radar as I plan to upgrade in the next year or two. If you want all or any part of it it yours for the price of shipping.

Leo,

Thanks for the reply. I would be interested in any information you may find and also in acquiring your parts if you decide to upgrade. I have never had a radar and was interested in learning to use it and then perhaps an upgrade. Your offer may be just what I need. Keep me informed.

Thanks,

Don Woodruff

Don,

I haven't forgot about the radar, I was on vacation last week. Hopped on my sons Navy ship in San Diego and went to Everett WA. We had 10-15 seas and 50+ knots of wind up the Oregon coast. Fun, on a 450 ship! I'll try to get estimates today.
