1st fishing boat, never used a fish finder or a trolling motor..
What I have is a new Lund 1875 Crossover XS, along with a 898c SI Combo & a 788ci HD DI Combo,
I'll also have a I Pilot-Link T-80tq trolling motor once it gets shipped out to my dealer...
I'm in the process of installing my fish-finder's and wouldn't know it, I need some help!
I've ran a 8g wire fused at the main battery to power an additional 6 blade fuse block.
Things I really dont understand are, the 788 will be at the bow, should I ignore the internal GPS in the 788
and mount the external GPS puck from the 898 near the (trolling motor that will be on the bow)?
Also it's my understanding the trolling motor will have a transducer built in it, will the built in one be as good or better than the 788?
And yes, I do believe I have all the Ethernet cables to connect all 3
And to be to the point, what the hell do I do with this NMEA wire?
Someday I'd like to use this stuff to it's full potential & I know a proper install come 1st!
Needless to say I cant explain how great-full I am to have found this wealth of info here!!
