[QUOTE="Petras, post: 115219, member: 216"] Ok, I just want to know if anyone has a network setup on their boat that allows you to use Ipilot Link and also get engine data off your big motor? I'm running a Helix 9 and currently have it tied in with my Ipilot Link. I'm wanting to get it set up so that I can still use the Ipilot Link and also pull data from my main motor. Main reason I want to do this is so I can keep an eye on my hours on the big motor for maintenance purposes. I did some research over on Walleye Central and a post by Jason Halfen, and by the looks of it I need the NMEA starter kit, the NMEA connector for my f200 motor, the humminbird ethernet switch, and the humminbird black box. Anyone know if this is correct? All total I'm looking at about $500+ just to be able to see the damned hours on my motor. If this is the case I will probably just buy an older used lowrance to hook up to the big motor and put it up front for the front deck of the boat. [/QUOTE]
