Garmin 238 replacement?

Hi

Can anyone recommend a new GPS plotter that would fit this space, with as little structural alteration as poss?

Ideally would like to have AIS functionality

All comments gratefully received.

Many thanks.

Take a look behind the plotter. The whole in the GRP mightn't be as big as you think. I had a 238 in my previous rib.

Either of the 5" Garmin plotters should fit without too much fuss. Both will take AIS input.
