Doing homework on AIS FA-50 to FA-70 upgrade

[MeltemiCaz]

Hello All, I have a quote from my dealer to buy an FA-70 to upgrade my FA-50. I want to put AIS on the NMEA 2000 network. I plan to install the FA-70 in place of the FA-50. Other than making sure that I will have access to a NMEA 2000 drop, what other changes will need to be made? Curious if anyone else has done the same?

It should be pretty straight forward. Swap connections and install your new power cable. Then it's just a matter of configuring the AIS with your information.
