IVE GOT 2 HDS7 LIVE UNITS TRYING TO RUN ACTIVE TARGET 2 HOW SHOULD I LINK THESE 2 UNITS TOGETHER THEY ONLY HAVE 1 ETHERNET PORT I FO HAVE NMEA 2000 ON BOARD T/Y FOR YOUR TIME ❤🤙🏽🤙🏽🙏🏽
I have two Lowrance elite FS units. They are networked with Ethernet but not NEMA. I feel like I’m really missing out. If I install NEMA with my FS units, will the function be available to do the programming on my ghost for the three additional foot pedal buttons? Or do I have to have HDS units with NEMA for that?
After watching this video today I called Russell Marine with questions. They promptly called me back (sorry don’t remember his name) and I explained what I was trying/wanting to do via NMEA2000. He gave me my options and was able to order right then. Could I have gone to Amazon or someplace else to save a few $? Possibly but customer service means the world. These guys are awesome and know their stuff. Thanks guys!
Problem im having with my 2 hds units is.. when i power up the helm unit the bow unit dont turn on synchronized.. i have to manually turn it in. Yes i got the nema and ethernet connected. Any info?
Great video fellas, one question if I have Garmin and simrad units both on NMEA backbone. If I create waypoint on Garmin will it appear on simrad ?

you will need the network expansion box and you can link everything together via ethernet
Do I need to have the nema to get my engine data for solix units or can that be done by Ethernet?

Is Map sharing on Helix something they could add in the future with a software update?
Possibly, but I wouldn't expect them to do it. That is one of the selling points on the more expensive unit!

Humminbird hoses you when networking helix units. You need lots of dongles especially if you're using an i pilot

This feature is only possible if you have the two yellow wake up wires from each unit ran together!
