Ok so I got a new stand alone sonar unit with tranducer, temp, and speed sensors. The Navman 2100 was backordered so I bagged that and went with a Lowrance multi-display unit LMX400 with fuel monitoring probe. Now that the fuel monitoring hardware is settled, I will be putting a NMEA 2000 backbone in the boat. This allows me to share data among the head units and have speed and distance added to the fuel monitoring data. :wink: Also it allows me to easily add a new network color GPS/map unit next year. The one I have now is not network compatible and is B and W. I pulled a CAT6 network throughout my house, now I get to do the same to my Parker!
Any else used a networked marine data system or installed one? Tips, tricks, shortcuts are all welcome.
