Looks like you need a network cable to run from the other 520 to the backbone, another T connector to connect that additional network cable to (this will share GPS info), another 120A cap for the other end of the backbone, and an Ethernet cable to share sonar which goes from unit to unit. I've got a 520C and 27C networked in my boat. Pretty sure I also powered the puck through a separate switch as well, just can't remember how I did that...maybe powering the NMEA off a separate switch? I'll look when I get a chance. If you don't put power to the puck on a separate switch it'll constantly drain the battery is my understanding.
