NMEA 2000 Installation

[@ToolTimewithTerry]

Super helpful thankyou, did it work on your other graph with Ethernet or did you need to hook that up to the NMEA 2k as well??

The data transfers from the dash graph to the front deck graph. But you can't control the ghost from the front graph. If I hit a way point on the ghost pedal, it will show on both graphs.

Thank you for your video! I have a question. Which sonar did you use? Both? I’m confused because I have my 3 in 1 in the back but trolling sonar in the front. Hope this makes sense. Thanks

I use the 3 in 1 in the back for the console unit and the ghost trolling motor transducer on the front unit.

@@ankersoutdoors thanks. Thats where I’m confused. So I guess you can’t use both. I only have 1 screen at the moment but wanted to add the NMEA to incorporate the ghost to my screen and have the additional features.

@lipsnatchertv2649 Yes, if you only have 1 screen, you can only use the transducer that is plugged into it. If you are using Lowrance units and you have more than 1, you can connect them together with the NMEA 2K as well as an ethernet cable. Depending on the units, they can be programmed to work off of either transducer. My front unit I use the ghost transducer, but because it's connected to my console unit with an ethernet cable, I can also program the front screen to work off of the back transducer as well. Hopefully that makes sense

@@ankersoutdoors sounds good thank you. I have the Elite 9 ti2 unit. I would have to look but I don’t remember if it has an Ethernet port on it.
