To shorten my learning curve a bit and get set up perfect right out the bat, please help me put these parts together as well as recommend options and upgrades to get the best use of my equipment. I primarily use these units to fish for walleyes.
Here is what I have:
2 - 1197si (with most recent softwar update)
2 - Interlinks
2 - GPS pucks
1 - Wethersense
1 - "Y" cable that has NMEA on one end and COMM on the other end.
Right now I have the two 1197's hooked up to one of the interlinks. The Weather sense is inline on the dash unit. One of the two GPS units is plugged into the interlink.
I believe I need to hook up the gps pucks with the "Y" connector to get faster refresh speeds and more accurate boat positions. I plan on ordering another "Y" cable to complete this task.
Whate other options besided Cannonlink and XM weather can I add to this system? Is there any other networking needs. Should I connect them via ethernet?
Thanks for you advice and guidance.
