Gentlemen, we have the technology!
New Standard Horizon VHF Radio with AIS is up and running!
The basic install: Remove old radio, cut hole bigger, stick new radio in.
To get it working there were numerous colored wires to play the matching game with.
This shows 1 of the 2 in-range AIS targets. I’m not sure why it says unknown vessel.
…and it does plot on the chartplotter!
COOL!

Yup. The docs were not clear so there was a little bit of guessing going on to make that happen. Fortunately I was “lucky” and got it to work on the first wire. I just had to mess with the garmin settings a bit.
