Re: Navionics maping card

So you will NOT get full sharing between two units that are NOT connected via Ethernet. The waypoint sharing you talk about using N2K is only available when both units are on. You can't mark waypoints on one MFD and later turn the other machine ON and populate with those previously marked waypoints....

Re: Navionics maping card

You need Ethernet for full sharing capabilities. Try another Ethernet cable to see if it eliminates the noise.

Re: Cut transducer signal cord Q?

Absolutely agree with Ken for most of the OEM transducers. But if you have a high dollar aftermarket transducer like Airmar ($1200), you can successfully connect the two cable pieces using one of the few couplers designed by Airmar and sold by Gemeco for about $70.

Yes. Your 3-1 should be attached to Sonar CH2. You will need to plug the blue connector into Sonar CH1 (blue). Now you simply need to change the SOURCE in your menu to view either transducer.
