Lowrance Expert?

[Daze Off]

I am going to set up a new Lowrance network of electronics in my boat this spring linking two Sonar/GPS units (at least) and have visited both Cabela's and Gander to browse and ask questions. In both cases I found the sales people to be unable to answer my questions.

Can anyone recommend someone at a local retail outlet who really knows their stuff regarding the above? Local is the Cities in this case.

Thanks,

Hiya -

LowranceNet/NMEA 2000 is neat as all get out. Really a cool system.

Have you looked at Lowrance's HSOforum at all yet? They have a tool there for configuring a network that lets you drag and drop components then validate the setup so you know it'll be a working network. You have to have terminators in the right places and things hooked together correctly for it to work right, and this will show you how to do that. Then, you can print the parts list and a network diagram so you know exactly what you need. It's a pretty cool little gizmo.

Once you get that far, I'd check with Thorne Brothers. If anyone knows this stuff it'll be them. If they don't they can get you in touch with Joe Carlson. Joe's an expert boat rigger (he rigs all my boats) and he's about as good as they come with this stuff.

Hope this helps...

Cheers,

Rob Kimm

Does anyone know if there is an adapter to go from a unit with the grey plug to the blue plug on the new network?

I got the same thing with Cabela's and Gander and such, not much more than a blank stare....
