Heres a sample network..

Lei-extras carries everything you need.  All you need to know what color network cables your units are compatible for (red or blue)

Depending on if youre using the red or blue cables the n2k-exp-kit   part# 124-55 should be suffient for what you want to do.  Its really simple to do...you just have to make sure that each end of your network is capped off with a terminator...
Also,  the NMEA 2000 network only needs to be powered by one of the units not both.

Here's the link on setting up a network off of Lowrance's website..

No...the ethernet cable will now work for sharing the gps antenna. The ethenet cable is only used to share sonar info between the units..you have to set up a lowrance network using the terminators and and T-connectors.
