NMEA on LE Models

[bandit53]

Do the LE models come with nmea installed or just ethernet?

It depends what year model. I have a 2017 LE and it did not. I believe 2018s do have NMEA to support the sonic hub. And 2019s will have Hummingbirds, so not sure.

Thanks JFD. I should have stated I am talking about a 2018 FX21LE which comes with the sonic hub. I will be installing a Point 1 and hopefully they connected both Lowrance units to nmea.

You will have to run a nmea cable to front unit. I just did the same install a couple months ago.

So I will need to plan on adding a tee and run a cable to the front. Are the existing tees "ganged up" under the console?

Yes mine were.
