Upgrade from 1623 to 1715

I'm a long term cruising sailor. The first radar on the boat was a 1621, which got replaced by a 1623 after about 15 years of service. The 1623 still works - most of the time, but has a new flaky problem of loosing the heading pulse. I've gone up the stick to open it up and use contact cleaner on all the connections, but it just did it again the other day.

I'm considering the 1715 as a replacement. I see that the cables are the same part number which would save me a ton of work. The question I have has to do with mounting. My radar is on a custom hinge setup next to the companion way. It will swing out so I can see it from the helm. The mounting uses the two mount holes on the side of the unit. I have been through the drawings, but the center to center on these mounting screws is not listed. Could someone give me the spacing on those mounting holes for the 1715?
 
The bolt pattern for the 1623 and 1715 are 160mm x 160mm.
You can reuse your 1623 scanner cable if you replace the display and scanner with the 1715.
