Hey Guys, I posted this in the Triton board but thought I would post here too.
I would like to upgrade my electronics this winter. I really like what I have, 520C and x135. However I would like to get GPS on the bow. And I would like If possible to get a larger console unit. The 520 is great, unless you are running large lakes, like KY. You always have to zoom in and out.
I was thinking of moving my 520C to the bow. Then buying some thing new for the console and selling the x135. However I dont want to hack up the boat. If I move the 520C I will most likely have to move the module up front. I would need the space where it is at to mount the new unit (ram mount), and I would also have to cover the hole that would be in the console. Everything is dealer installed right now.
I have also considered leaving the 520c in the dash. And buying something else for up front. Maybe another 520. If i did this i would like something with an internal gps module, like a 522ci. What addition wiring would be needed, if any?
Any Opinions, Advise, Suggestions?

If i were you i would move the 135 in the dash at the console to use as a back up, get you a HDS7 or 8 and mount on a ram mount at the console, move the 520 to the bow and interlink the HDS7 and 520, then you will be set. If you fish deep a lot you might also add the 4000 antenia to the HDS7 or 8, it makes you cursor 5 times quicker on picking you up on the water and moving you around.

Ranger Rodney, Can you elaborate a little more on the interlinking? Not exactly sure what that mean? Thanks Michael

That is where they are connected together by the Nema net work system. They share way points, when you put one in the back it goes to the front auto same as when you add one on the front it goes to the back.

Hey watch it on the plasma TV, us ol folk need all the help we can get seeing things

Not going to be interested in selling my HDS 7 until I am sure my 10 is good to go (no water intrusion, no program problems).

Other than watching the boards, check out Three Rivers Marine, also a BBC sponsor and sell their unit below list on the web page.

If you need/want any help IM me and I am only 14 miles southeast of Glasgow on Hwy 90.
