Nmea connections

BassinBandit · 03-05-08, 01:26 AM

Okay I just bought a new Lowrance 520C. My dad and I are installing it tomorrow, but we are kinda confused about the nmea connections. Do they have to be used, and do we have to use the tcon that comes w/ it. We have read the directions and it just isnt making any sense at the moment, Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am not familiar with the 520 but you will use the Tcon if you put a speed Temp/sensor wheel on it.

Its not necessary to use the connections if you dont want to. As crane stated if you want speed or temp or whatever you will have to get the appropiate sensors and/or connections.

We got it all hooked up today. We had to call tech support for lowrance but the girl I spoke to was awesome and helped us through it. We got it up and running now just have to finish connecting up to the battery.
