Hi,
I am considering how to refit the electronics setup in my sailboat. The boat is from 1997 and all electronics date back to then, so i want to renew it all, and i have som questions about how to network it all together. Hope you can help!
Its (probably) going to be:
1 garmin 4210 plotter.
Garmin GWS 10 wind sensor
Raymarine S1 autopilot
Raymarine 218E DSC VHF
Furuno AIS50 transponder
Possibly Garmin HD radar.
How is all this networked together? Will it just be a NMEA backbone cable with t-connectors going to each instrument and in that case, how is that cable terminated?
How do I integrate the Garmin marine network, which seems be based on standard RJ-45 LAN cables?
I suppose i will need a VHF splitter for the AIS. Seperate GPS-antenna also?
That's it! Hope someone has a take on how this is supposed to be set up, so I can get going..:-) Thanks!
Opinions on my equipment selections are also very welcome - I haven't bought it yet, so I can still change my mind:-) But having as much as possible integrated into the chartplotter display is important to me...
