You can also run cables between the "Ts" so you can have "Ts" at the front and back of the boat.

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

That’s correct, I wanted to keep this simple and clear for people who have never done this before, so I stuck with a basic backbone, but yes, you can do that without issue...thanks for watching!

By the far the best explanation on RU-vid. This is an add for Garmin. All of Garmin antennas are internal. There are no pucks for the graphs, trolling motors and subsequently, no need for the Neama, unless maybe I add the telemetry for my 300r merc.

How many tees would I need for HDS Live 12, Live 9, Active Target, Ghost TM, and power?

@bakervinci163 Год назад

Kinda off subject, but the new 300r mercury motors require clean power. Can I put a shut off switch on that? I do all of my own work, but had the motor installed. He did not think I could put a shut off. One of my volt meters stays on all the time. I can shut everything else off, so my second Volt meter is off, when it’s off.

@rustyreidfishing3334 Год назад

I’m getting ready to run another unit so I can read console unit from bow using NMEA (older Elite 9ti so no Ethernet). Will the NMEA power that front unit or will it need its own power source? No need for another transducer?

I have a elite ti 7 and a elite ti 9 at the console is there any way i can run both units off the same transducer using nema 2000 running sonar and maps on one unit and side and down imaging on the other i have no ethernet hook ups on it i was just wondering

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

Hey Daniel!…I’m honestly not super familiar with the Elite Ti’s, I know they can be hooked up via NMEA 2k to share waypoints and I believe you can also share sonar but I’m not 100% sure on that part of it… hopefully someone can chime in and give a definitive answer for you, I’m sorry!

@rmoore7167 3 года назад

Great Explanation! I have a NEMA2000 for My GPS Puck and have one HDSGen3 9' on Console connected to a Structurescan. I just bought a HDS 12" Carbon for bow. I have a HDI Skimmer for trolling Motor. Do I just use the Ethernet to share SS to both HDS? and flip back and forth in front if I want to use the SS vs HDI instead for the BOW or do most guys just use the HDI in front and the SS on console to find a area to start fishing?

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

Thanks Rich!…yes sir, you can share the SS via Ethernet…and with them networked you can flip back and forth between ducers as needed/wanted!…I use my SS on bow at times myself, it’s nice to have when needed!

@squatking1 3 года назад

Great subject and even better is your explanation. With multiple units networking via the Ethernet cable. Would you then just need to connect unit #1 to the Nema 2000 or do you still have to connect all units to the Nema 2000? I would think only one needs to be connected to the Nema 2000 if the Ethernet cable is used on all units but correct me if I’m wrong.

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

Thank you, I appreciate that!… All of your units would need to be connected to the NMEA 2K network in order for them to take full advantage, even if they are connected via Ethernet...The reason being that the information shared is different between the two systems… Hope that helps, thanks for watching!

You do not need a "T" for the power. It can be connected directly to the end instead of using a terminator. Call Russell Marine for verification. That is how I set my up and it works fine.

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

That’s very controversial, to say the least...I have seen people do it the way you’re saying, but some end up having issues which are resolved by adding the power to a “T” and properly using terminators on the ends...to each their own, but I would NOT recommend that at all

@pumpkin971 2 месяца назад

I am just learning things about ethernet and NMEA and need to learn fast since I am re-doing my boat GPS system. I luv your explanation and comprehensive enough. But I do have a question: when you connect the backbone to the power source via switch, will the unit like your Lowrance GPS will have power too since the backbone is connected to the Lowrance GPS. The Lowrance GPS has its own power port for connection to a power source. Is there a need to connect the Lowrance or Garmin GPS directly to a power source? Or you just abandon the power port connection of the GPS since it will be powered from the backbone connection.

@sebell69 4 месяца назад

I got several questions and a few observations that I would like to have you clarify if you a so incline. Ethernet is a protocol (in the data world) what type of cable it uses is another thing is it 4 pairs? 3 pairs, 2 pairs?? is it 1 pair for power and 1 cable for data like the old video cameras would use? As far as the Nmea 2000 (and 0183) is a token ring (old LAN technology). What kind of cable does it use? 4 pairs, 3, 2 or 1 pair for power and 1 for data? What type of encapsulation does the data use? (or What communication protocol?)? Thank you for your video you been more enlighten than most how2 on RU-vid or even written explanations have been about Nmea and "ethernet" for marine use

I just bought a elite TI2. I have a Gen 2 touch @ the bow and the elite @ the console. Question Lowrance says I can use NEMA 2000 to send waypoints to the bow from the console and vice a versa. I had ethernet hooked up before between a Gen 2 Touch 7 at the bow and the 9 at the console before I purchased the Elite TI2. The TI2 does not have a port for ethernet. Any thoughts on how to exchange info.

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

yea unfortunately you're limited to NMEA with your setup, but they should be able to share waypoints through that (make sure both units are on)...with the Ti2 made for "wireless networking", there's no way to utilize Ethernet between it and the Gen2...now if you had multiple Ti2's that's a different story...hope that helps!

@StephenDahm-yb8hn 10 месяцев назад

Good job of explaining the Ethernet and NEMA 2000 setups. Is it possible to use both networks at the same time. For instance, if I have external sensors on the NEMA 2000 network but I want a simpler connection between twochart/finders using an Ethernet interface. Could this create a setup issue of the lowrance finders.

@danayo8852 9 месяцев назад

Since the NMEA 2000 network is powered, do you need individual power cords for each fish finder, or will they receive power from the back bone? Also can you extend NMEA cables if they are too short? Is there a maximum length for a NMEA cable? Very informative video. Thanks for taking the time to put this together…

@Muruch 9 месяцев назад

If I understand the guidelines correctly, power to the network should be as close to the centre of the network as possible. Additionally the backbone does not need to be made up of directly connected T-connectors. Cable can be run between connectors thus reducing the amount of cable running through the boat as a cluster of devices can be T'd at the console, and only one backbone cable run back to connect to a cluster of devices at the bow, stern etc.

@NitroZ18Fishing 9 месяцев назад

Great channel. New subscriber. But and i did listen. If you have the nema2000 hooked up and it does show waypoints, trails, etc. between units. Why would you also run the ethernet cable? Just as backup or something? Also did the ghost come with gps sensor or is the point one just better? Thanks Pete. Been thinking of going with ghost. i have the Xi5 but the gps fails connected ( nmea2000 ) to HDS12. Needs that stupid dongel update that you cant get. So has to be disconnected from network. So just loose some features but thinking of switching.

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

Thanks Pete, I appreciate it!!…most people will run both systems just to take full advantage of everything they have to offer, but both are not necessarily needed…and yepper, the Ghost comes with its own puck, works a little differently than the Point 1…Point 1 is a heading sensor while the TMC (Ghost puck) is more of a GPS sensor…highly recommend using both of those on your setup as well…hope all that helps!

GREAT VIDEO & Explanation. I’m connecting a HDS9 Carbon(new) to a HDS7 Gen3 to operate off a new 3-in-one transducer. Do I need a NEMA 2000 starter kit, besides the Ethernet cable I’ve already installed , to make everything work?

@NitroZ18Fishing 2 года назад

Thanks Rick!…depending on what you want to share you may need the NMEA connection…if you just want to share the sonar then Ethernet will be enough, but I always recommend connecting both NMEA 2K and Ethernet to get the best out of all your units…hope that helps!

Super video..I watched twice! Please explain One thing: I have already installed Ethernet between 2 HDS12 Live, and now I'm adding Point1 antenna. Question....When added, will NMEA 2000 work with Ethernet still connected? Should be Ethernet cable disconnected? Will they interfere with each other if left in, connected together? Thank you!

@NitroZ18Fishing 2 года назад

Thank you, I appreciate that!!….yepper, you leave em both (Ethernet and NMEA) connected at all times, they work perfectly fine together and serve some different purposes of course…I recommend everyone install both systems, gets ya the best outta your units!…hope that helps!

Hi one question, so I currently just bought One Lowrance HDS Live 16, that will be mounted on the dash where I drive the boat, and 2 HDS live 12s, which will be mounted at the Bow of the boat up front, so if I Buy 2 Lowrance Ethernet cables, Hook up both to my Lowrance HDS 16, both Ethernet cables up to the Bow of my boat, plug one of the cables into one of the Lowrance 12s, and then the other Ethernet cable into my other 12, They’ll all function together? So if I mark a waypoint on one of my 12s up front, they’ll all have that same waypoint marked on them? Great video it seems like it will be a great help to me when I go to install all this stuff

@NitroZ18Fishing 2 года назад

Hey Raze!… i’m sorry, I don’t know how I missed your comment… Yes you are correct, just run 2 ethernet cords from your 16 to the 2 12’s at the front and they will share any/all data that can be shared through ethernet…hope that helps!

@MaineManBassing 2 года назад

Thanks for the video. Lowrance should pay you for this.

@NitroZ18Fishing 2 года назад

No prob, happy to help!!…and I wish they would 🤣…thanks for watching!

@bakervinci163 Год назад

I think Garmin should pay him🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡

@kevinazzopardi5873 3 года назад

I want a connection between a Lowrance HDS 5 to a Lowrance Elite FS 9. I would be using HDS as GPS and Elite as fishfinder. Should I go for the ethernet cable? If I hit a waypoint on the Elite, will it show on the HDS in real time?

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

I’m not too familiar with the HDS 5 but if connected with an Ethernet cable they should definitely share waypoints in real time...hope that helps!

@patrickgazzara3992 2 года назад

Question, I have three HDS gen 3 units two 9's and one 7. The 7 only has one Ethernet port and the 9's have two so linking all three with Ethernet cables isn't a problem. My 9"s are updated to 18.2 not sure about the 7 but if it isn't will the 7 still pickup maping and weigh points from the 9's?

@NitroZ18Fishing 2 года назад

Hey Patrick!… Yes sir, as long as they are all connected they will still share mapping and waypoints… It’s usually best to update to the latest software just to make sure you’re getting the most out of your units, but those features will still work if the 7 is not updated yet… Hope that helps!

@juliansummers4315 Год назад

Love this. Newbie to boating and need to install a Garmin in-hull transducer and separate sonar module to existing Garmin chartplotter and radar. This video has probably saved me losing my **** completely and hurting myself or someone else in the immediate vicinity! And float testing all the new and very expensive kit!

@NitroZ18Fishing 10 месяцев назад

That’s awesome, so glad it helped!…thanks for watching!

@martyepperly5803 2 года назад

I'm upgrading from two Elite Ti's(not Ti2) to HDS Gen 3 units. I'm new to the ethernet networking. I understand that I can run both units off the same transducer. Is this true, and could you elaborate?

@NitroZ18Fishing 2 года назад

Yes sir, Ethernet allows you to share transducer data between different graphs, as long as both graphs are connected of course…just run the ducer to one of the graphs, then connect the 2 graphs with an Ethernet cable, and you can share all data from the transducer (water temp, depth, waypoints, etc)…if it doesn’t work right off the bat let me know, there may be a couple settings you have to tweak (very easy to do, I’ll walk ya through it)

@yyamaha125cc 3 года назад

If you have the full NMEA system to all graphs and trolling, do you still need to network them with the Ethernet? Or is it one or the other ?

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

They both have their benefits for sure, I always recommend both systems...I go over the differences in the video if it would help!

@glenndaugherity6187 2 года назад

Another awesome video sir ! You are THE BEST at explaining all this and I found you at a perfect time just before my install. Is it correct to say that you have to have your units powered on to be able to share things like waypoints and such ?

@NitroZ18Fishing 2 года назад

Thanks man, I really appreciate that!!…yes sir, that’s correct, let me know if I can help with anything else!

@shaybag 3 года назад

I have an 01 Merc 225EFI is it to old to hook up NMEA and if not what motor info can I see on my HDS 12 live

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

Hey Sheldon!… I’m not 100% sure on that one, I would contact Mercury directly… I’m pretty sure that’s right around the time where they started becoming compatible but don’t hold me to that… I want to say the 2001’s are not able to hook into a NMEA 2k network I’m just not positive and don’t want to give ya the wrong info, I’m sorry!

@bugdvr 3 года назад

Clear and concise. I'm getting ghost touches on my hds12...any suggestions??

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

Hmm, not sure... i’ve never experienced that on my units… I would try doing a soft reset and maybe a screen calibration and see if that helps… Let me know how you make out!

@Nehringer1 2 года назад

Patrick, great video and just in time for me! You just saved me several hundred dollars! I'm running three Elite-9 Ti2 units. I want to tie the two helm units together with an Ethernet cable, but I want to know if I can still link my "base unit" via WiFi to my bow unit while the base unit is linked via Ethernet to the second helm unit. Since these units only have one Ethernet port, I'd need an expansion port to hardwire all three together. But if I can still connect two units via Wifi, all I need is a short Ethernet cable and I'm in business! Currently, I have to reassign my WiFi connections every time I stop to fish, and every time I pick up to move. It is a PAIN!

@NitroZ18Fishing 2 года назад

Hey buddy, I’m sorry I’m just seeing this!… I know we talked about this in messenger, let me know if you have any other questions!

@timross7046 Год назад

Best video ever, thanks . Can you hook a gen 1 to a gen2 touch screen for all sonar and mapping ?

@NitroZ18Fishing 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Tim, I appreciate that!…yes sir, just connect with Ethernet and you’re good to share sonar/mapping!

@ikrunic23 Год назад

@somphonesaiyasone4738 3 года назад

Can u share 1 transducer on two units using nema2000? I have lowrance 7ti

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

Unfortunately no, sonar/transducers are shared via Ethernet...you wouldn’t be able to share it over NMEA 2000

@waypro4286 3 года назад

Awesome video, The only question that I have is that on other videos that I have watched, they recommend putting the power cable close to the center point of the backbone. Does that really matter? I have (2) Lowrance HDS 9 gen 2 touch screens. Do you recommend running both the ethernet cable between the 2 units and also the NMEA setup. I am installing a Motorguide Xi5 pinpoint trolling motor and cleaning up a lot of the wiring at the same time. Thanks for the great video!

@NitroZ18Fishing 3 года назад

Thank you, I appreciate that!...and I’ve never had any issues with having the power “T” anywhere in the backbone, as long as circuit is terminated correctly you’ll be good to go!...I would definitely recommend doing both the Ethernet between both graphs, and also the NMEA 2K network, they both serve a good purpose on most boats, let me know if I can help with anything else, and thanks for watching!
