    How do I connect three units to share waypoints

    I presently have my Helix 9 and my 858 connected and working fine. I want to install my 998 on my console and run maps. I think that I want to have all three units share waypoints.
    Can I and if so what do I need.

    What is the mall plate that protect wires installed through bulkhead called and where can buy one

    Three connections takes the AS ETH 5PXG Ethernet switch.
    Each unit needs an Ethernet cable between them and the switch.

    The switch is powered so plan its location and power connection. Then plan the Ethernet cable lengths to go between the units and switch.

    The rectangular plastic hole covers are part of some mount packages like this:

    Have not seen them as a separate purchase, contact Humminbird.
