Hi Murph We have the same hull I'm going to install a nmea back bone as well if you have determined what lengths you'll need would you let me know.
I can measure that maybe tomorrow if you needI am installing a nmea backbone kit as well with drop cables for power in , autopilot , fuel flow sensor, Rear MFD, Helm MFD .
Garmin has a kit but it seems the back bone cable will be Too long.
I'm planning on running the back bone from the battery box to the cluster behind the dash my boat is in storage right now ,any idea how long that run would be I'm thinking maybe 15- 16 foot
thanks my question would be what is the length from the battery box along the floor then up behind to the helm panel. I'm guessing 15-16 ftI can measure that maybe tomorrow if you need
I’ll send you a pmthanks my question would be what is the length from the battery box along the floor then up behind to the helm panel. I'm guessing 15-16 ft
Can't be much help with your wiring
Have to ask why would you spend the 5 grand plus on all of it then , NOT get someone to install it properly one bad connection and you could toast something costing you even more ...i tend to error on side of caution as i am always worried about doing something wrong..
Good luck
Ya I’m a little worried about that portion of the install, I’m good at drilling, running wires, mounts, wire crimping and what not, but system set up may be trouble, I have a hard enough time getting the computer to email lolI just know that stuff can and is finicky I know of a few who have tried on own and poof went the radar dome,,, As i mentioned before Glen has all the neat testers etc to see if something is right or not and he will walk you thru it ...
my major grief is you read everything to a T ad install it and some things dont work as per a update or "not in book" I had my point one off calibration and went thru all the steps ... it got me so frustrated and pissed off... Glen figured it out from a OLD manual set up ..... or else id still be mad LOL i tend to have not alot of patience for that sort of thing...
