Yes, it's that easy. On your power cord for each unit, there is two sets of black and red wires. The bigger red and black are to power the unit, the smaller set is to give power to your NMEA network(your puck). If you have your units networked, you should only have one set of the smaller wires powered. If you've got all the power leads hooked up, you don't want that. It can blow your gps antenna, only one set of the smaller wires should be powered in the network.

I've run both setups multiple times, I like the network better. I've found that there isn't a difference or enough of a difference that it effects my fishing to use both pucks. I personally like having my backup puck for a spare if my other one goes down, which does happen with gps antennas.
