    NMEA 2000 with ECHOMAP UHD 94SV

    As long as the NMEA sentences for each sensor type are of the standard "proprietary" output structure, our Garmin's should pick them up, yes. If you get this and it works let us know plz? Someone (chinese) busted open the money sham of NMEA.........Hehehe, I hope so. I knew there was a one or...

    NMEA 2000 with ECHOMAP UHD 94SV

    Lowrance makes aftermarket NMEA 2000 $ensors that you can add into your engine and such(temp, pressure, fuel use, speed, etc)......Your Garmin ECHO will most likely have/find/cal and display(gauges) the most common ones in its NMEA setup. I use their NMEA pressure sensor currently on my ECHO...

    Add a Livewell Switch Again

    You're quite welcome, couldn't have done it w/o you doing the dirty work ;) The additional switch up front is an awesome idea BTW! You owe me nothing sir and your thank you is the best re-payment in the world these days.

    Honda BF115 power tilt relay wiring

    No worries and glad you're up and running Sure, very welcome and yeah, I saw that, but figured they were toast along with everything else and using internal diodes would have been a bit more seamless both short and long term. Worked out nicely though sounds beings they were more or less sealed...

    Lol......It's all good. I lead you astray, we have to go back in Doc!! Remove from switch #2 the jumper pins 1 to 5. Add to switch #2 a jumper from pins 1 to 2 to 4.(See attachments) Functionality of switch lights are as follows. With bow switch off position.... Helm switch in manual...

    Add a Livewell Switch Again

    No, 2 & 5 of the new switch can't be wired together either internal or external...The switch has to be wired as shown in the schematic post #8 Local two (2) wires at new switches added bow location are... New switch's pin 5 wired to new switch's pin 1(a jumper if you will), both then wired to...

    I assume the new switch's pins 2 and 5 aren't hard wired together as shown in the manu's picture? Else yes, just follow the pin numbers as depicted/marked on the new switch and hook the wires up as shown in schematic in post #8

    Honda BF115 power tilt relay wiring

    You can add diodes(MOV's) externally if you like, just follow how they did it in the schematic your post above.........This is done usually if the relay doesn't contain one. https://progeny.co.uk/back-emf-suppression/

    Honda BF115 power tilt relay wiring

    Yeah they'll work, but they don't appear to have a diode I mentioned above. You're driving the relay with a mechanical switch, worst case w/o the diode, it could shorten the switches life some by arcing HOWEVER that circuit is most likely isolated from the rest of anything that might have...

    Honda BF115 power tilt relay wiring

    So those should work and this is a moot point if you got similar type, but be advised the diodes that are shown and are present/internal to the OEM relays and the ones I linked you to at Digikey are intended to clamp high voltage spikes that come from the relay coils each time the relay is...

    Honda BF115 power tilt relay wiring

    $450? For Crap Saks!! Yes, but not necessarily "typical", a 30A automotive type with integral diode would work fine(see below link) and to me, it doesn't look like there is anything worth saving as it looks like one relay's lug has plum rotted off.......Replace both!! Then yes, cut the wires...

    Add a Livewell Switch Again

    No worries and yes, let us know please. You're very welcome Yup, but you'll have to mirror (see revised schematic below) the switch's pinning. This keeps the switch's light functioning as intended (solid on in manual AND cycles w timer in auto). This assumes that the 7 pin DPDT switch's light...

    Thank you, you as well.............So, to keep things as simple as possible and not have you chasing too many odd ball connections and limit bilge diving..........There are probably a few other ways, but I'd add the new bow switch more of less in parallel with the helms switch as...

    Are you able to run a few wires forward from the helm to the bow panel?

    VHF and Garmin ECHOMAP connectivity via NMEA0183 Help

    Ground your VHF's NMEA -IN (GRN), Then Chart Potter's Tx out(BLU) ----> VHF NMEA +IN (YL). That's about as complcated as it is or you can break it out like as depicted below. Also, might have to go into settings on both Garmin(tell it to Xmit data out on 0183) and VHF to receive NMEA 0183...

    My Winter Hobby

    I have two now and lately, tht's seems two too many. We're just not getting the snow we used too, It's just always 3 or 4 degrees too warm with these tree dumping out of place super high wind storms.......Strange weather these days here.

    Stereo Upgrade

    Unlike a car, the acoustic properties an open air cockpit such as boats/toons etc aren't really the best sounding board for high fidelity equipment, esp so when you're moving down the lake. Even the best of the best highest power and lowest SNR isn't going to do much for you. I suggest and...
