I’d like to connect the HDS units in my 05 178VS. Any tips on doing this? I’ve read that it can be tough in Rangers but hoping I can do it myself. One is at console and one at bow.

should be a pvc pipe molded in from under your console running to bow , just run etherenet cable from console unit to bow thru the pipe and your networked. super simple on my Ranger ( imagi ne there all same) 15 min project
Ok thanks. I hope it’ll be that simple.
You'll need a fish tape to make it easy. Run it from under the console to the bow, then pull the wire back. Tape it to the fish tape making a "Cone" over the end. Don't try to force it if it hangs up. Pull it back a foot or so and then try again until you get it thru.
