im getting rid of it because it was a gift i intended to install but went with a higher model.
I just bought one of these units. How do you like it? I'm planning on using it as a radar only since my Furuno 1650 is still working fine. I picked up the RL70C to replace a Furuno 1731mk3.

Anyone who has been using the C-series or E-series Raymarine isn't going to be happy with the RL or SL70c, but the equipment is solid, reliable, and intuitive to use. I think you get a lot for the money, especially at what you can get them for nowadays. As a radar display, I think you will love it.

Just found one (and received it) the other day. If you have room at the helm, consider what I am doing; add a second unit and HSB them together so you can see anything you want from either screen.
