    Motorguide Xi3 pinpoint gps question

    Do I need to install a Xi series gateway kit as well as a nmea 2000 starter kit to integrate my unit to the tm? Or can I just connect the nmea2000 to the motor directly?

    If your boat is already set up with NEMA 2000 Then all you need is a Gateway kit. If you have no NEMA 2000 connected throughout the boat then you will have to get a kit also. Also the Gateway will only work on Lowrance units.

    So you can't just connect the NMEA 2000 network directly to the motor, right?

    Not without the Gateway. It will not work without it either way.
