We have a 2006 Dufour 365Gl. The chartplotter was originally fixed down on the nav table.
We moved it on top of the binacle some years later. We found a fabricator locally who was able to cut off the top of the Stainless steel hoop and weld on a support for the chartplotter in front of the wheel. Saved making a completely new support. It was a bit of a challenge to run the wiring from below. I can’t clearly remember how to ran the wiring from the nav station to the new wheel position, but we did achieve it up inside the new SS hoop. The welding was so good,you can’t see the join.
We normally only sail with 2 of us and it enables the helmsman to ahve immediate visibility for our local sailing in the Solent.
