Wedger Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 Adding to my nav gear and wondering if anyone with experience could offer a little help? I can run the wires, fit arch and kit but would appreciate some pointers on final wiring and commitioning - any takers? All Lowrance HDS side/downscan and broadband radar, AIS, flux gate compass, etc. Would like to speak pre-ordering Cheers Chapletts Trev Quote
niggle Posted July 4, 2014 Report Posted July 4, 2014 You know I've got some of the kit you list Trev but I was lazy and had a marine electrician fit it,you'll need it all networked and if you run 2 screens on the Gen2 get one with chart plotter and fish finder the other can be just a plotter as they share info/functions.This then really does away with a fluxgate compass as radar overlay is overrated IMHO,so chart on one screen plus sounder and radar on the other,there you go just saved you£1500 I'm on boat tomorrow PM come on down if possible and have a play Nigel Wedger 1 Quote
