Friends, apologize if I am asking a redundant question, but can't seem to find a thread on this topic. I have a 1990's Montauk 17 with little or no electronics to speak of, just an old depth alarm with an old transducer on the transom. Would like to install a Garmin echoMAP and a plain old am/fm radio. The Garmin goes for less than $300 at West Marine, and even less elsewhere; you can get a decent radio/speaker system for about $200. Local boatyard is looking for about $1000 to install both. NY/Long Island region. I have a hard time believing it takes a lot to install an am/fm radio, and if there is already a transducer on the hull I would think running the cables for the Garmin should be fairly easy as well. Thoughts?
