| Hey guys, I want to preface this question by saying I am a complete newbie when it comes to electronics so bear with me please. I have a Lowrance LCX27C at the console on my boat and a cheap sonar-only unit up at the bow. I just bought a Lowrance HDS7 Gen2 and my goal is to replace the LCX27C with the HDS and move the LCX27C up front so I have GPS capabilities at the bow and console. My question what is the easiest way to do this. Can/should I use the external GPS puck on the LC27 upfront without connecting the two units? Or is it possible I could network the two with an ethernet cable? Again, I apologize for being a moron with electronics, but any help would be appreciated! Thanks |

Location: Thief River Falls MN | An overview of ethernet and NMEA networking. You need the yellow ethernet cable between the two units. You will be able to share waypoints etc. but not chip mapping data
