I'm doing this exact setup and all the NMEA-2000 starter kits I can see come with 3 Ts, 1drop lead, and a power cable but not a red power T like you have. Can any of the Ts be a power T?
@bayouhoundtv you’ll need both. The cable connects the computer from the outboard to the “backbone” which is the Nema kit, your nema compatible devices then connect to the backbone.
@@lefterisvasilatos6452 Mine did. I had a shop install it. There are a few features I wasn’t able to read on my Simrad, cause you have to add some things to the motor. I was able to get rpms, motor hours, and some other info. I still need to play with it
@montauk man - does the motor automatically send the trim / tilt state to the NMEA 2000 or is anything special required to get the Trim / Tilt to display?
You probably dont care at all but does any of you know a way to get back into an Instagram account? I stupidly forgot my password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
Hi! Does your chartplotter get all its power from that cable that goes from the NMEA2k backbone or do you have a separate power cable running to your chartplotter?
I found this text on a support site @@DainichiKichi “Yes, any NMEA 2000 network needs power. A large amount of NMEA 2000 devices are powered solely from the backbone, and this power is used to operate the device. Whilst this is the case for most devices, not all devices are powered from the NMEA 2000 network completely. Some devices pull too much current from the network and due to the NMEA regulations on NMEA 2000 networks, they must be powered from their own supply.”
