Network between Lowrance & Humminbird?

Post by 201Pro »

I currently have a HDS9 & HDS12 networked together. Recently bought a boat with a 1197C ... was wondering if I can network all three together and use the 1197C for sonar? Can anyone confirm the ability to network (NEMA2000) between these units?

What are you trying to share over the N2K network?

Even if you could NMEA network between brands (which I am not sure you can), sonar doesn't share over NMEA, it shares over Ethernet.
