Peck Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 So I picked up a Lowrance Elite 9 Ti the other day (Bass Pro Sale) and I want to link it with my Elite 7 up front and also to my Motorguide Xi5 trolling motor. Looking to share waypoints and gain some functionality out of my tm by following waypoints, contours ect. I've read that I need the Nmea 2000 kit to accomplish this. I think I also need another tee and another short cable, maybe 2? But I also read I need a gateway kit to be able to connect to the TM? The Nmea kit is under 100 bucks, but i can't seem to find the gateway kit that isn't crazy expensive, and I'm not even sure I need this. Any of you have experience with this stuff and can lead me in the right direction before I spend a bunch of money I dont need to spend?

Astro180 Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 I just mounted a couple new units, one on bow and one on console....I have the two coupled with ethernet, but i am interested in linking the two new(to me) units into my elite 7 with Nmea 2000 network. Hopefully someone here can answer all these questions for the both of us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peck Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Well I pulled the trigger on the Nmea 2000 starter kit, the gateway kit which came with an extra tee, and another drop cable. Hopefully that is all I need. Should be here next week so we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll have it all working by this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
