Electronics Compatibility

Thought I'd try here before contacting Lowrance or the local Marine Dealer. Here goes...

Buying a boat from a fellow tourney fisherman. He has a Lowrance LCX 18C rigged on his boat but is keeping this graph as it also has his GPS hotspots/waypoints saved. My boss has a LMS 160map/sonar and he's looking to give that to me. Both have the sonar GPS capabilities like I said, and I was just wondering if I can trade, plug, and go or will I have to look at accessories, wiring, etc.

Thanks for any advice guys.

Might need a wiring harness, not sure, most makers are not gonna be compatible w/ competitors- less money for them.

These two graphs are both Lowrance units.
