Modding Stargazer for Z-Box

[Phil2360]

Got my Z-Box today.

 

As my master module was a very early production it needed modifying a bit.

Here's a few pics.

1st is the un-modified board.

Others show the replacement replacement regulator in place.

Ya, had an early Stargazer too. I am not as handy as you, so I just paid the extra $100 to have a new module. If anyone is interested in my existing module (DBW Mastercraft) it can be modified (and they said it might have been already, I just don't know cuz the boat is in storage) to accomodate Z-box. $50 once I get it pulled out of the boat in another month or so.

Bump for @East tx skier.

Good man, Charlie Brown. Like @Razorskier1, I'm not too handy with the soldering iron. Was much better to pay the discounted price, sell the old module for somewhere in between retail and that price, and get a brand new module assembled by the pros.
