I ordered the Fox Marine Gateways yesterday. Should have them by the weekend and will become a weekend project. I don’t have a nmea 2000 network and have ordered the stuff to build that also.as of today I dont have the display system so I’ll use the Bluetooth function until I upgrade navionics. Will keep you posted on how this project proceeds.

Maybe this link will show the product.

I have some electrical questions about installation but will start a new topic for that.

I answered your other post not knowing what your installing. If your your not going to run a network cable to the helm and If your wanting to control power to the back bone. You could run power from a switch in dc electrical panel that's very easy to get to on a 405 instead of messing with the engine ignition circuit. If like my 405 likely you'll have extra/empty spots on the panel for such.

On my Carver I used the Noland RS11 to convert the analog gauges to digital signals for the chart plotter to read. Installation was easy enough. Just connect a wire to the sender lead on each gauge and then to the RS11 unit. Open up your computer and plug it in then tell the RS11 what it is that it’s trying to read. The software was a bit daunting at first but once I got it set up it worked pretty well. I am kinda curious if the antisense unit is more user friendly but for now the RS11 is good enough for me.
