Title: removing chart plotter to access binnacle Bav 32 2002
Post by: filban on May 12 2022, 19:05

I need to remove my chart plotter from the binnacle as I am fitting a cockpit table to the front of the binnacle and need access to fit the bolts which fix the table support brackets


the table is a KJHowells folding leaf

I have never done this before and ask if anyone has any tips for this operation


attached is a photo of the rear business side of the binnacle


thanks

Take the front bezel off the chartplotter.  You'll then be able to access the screws holding it on the binnacle.

We fitted the same table to our B32. We accessed the binnacle through the large circular hatch under the throttle.
A few cables, etc to navigate but enabled us to reach the back(front?) of the binnacle where the table bolts will be located.

Thanks for your replies

I have tried to access the necessary area through the circular access hatch but it seemed very congested ( or maybe I have big hands!)

I will remove the plotter carefully after removing the bezel
