Thanks

Would be nice if you filled out a little more info so we know what model boat we are talking about. ;-)
Seakey is a rather big box probably located behind the helm of the flybridge as this is where mine was. There will also be an antenna (short and stubby) easily identified as it is marked Seakey on it. Just follow the wires and disconnect. Personally I left the box as access was a pain on my configuration however wires were disconnected/chopped off, antenna removed and dash mounted controller. This may be of a little help as it shows a small diagram of what was available, you may not have all those options though. https://www.boattest.com/view-news/3237 ... at-and-you!

In case anyone is wondering why remove, they went belly up many years ago so the unit is useless!

There were several monitoring options so it'll depend on what was installed. Typically it'll have a user control head on the helm, control module hidden close by, satellite, GPS and possibly a cellular antenna, there may be a high water float switch wired in, a stand alone SOS button, and of course DC power connections. I don't recall if camera options made it into the fray before the company was purchased and eventually dissolved. Get to the control module/box and follow each wire/cable, all the options will be hooked up to it.

Sorry, it is on a 360 Sport Sedan. The controller is to the port of the helm. I believe the box is in a compartment to the starboard on dash. It looks like yellow pelican box. There is no antenna, it appears to have been been removed and the cable cut and taped. I was not sure if there were any other systems it was wired into?
Thanks
