Thread: Need recomendations for unit under 5 bills

Yes, you have to connect the nmea power so the antenna will work, it's best to switch it so it doesn't run battery down.

Can I somehow use the NMEA to run to another Head towards the back of the boat so that the person in back can see what's going on under the front?

You can send gps info through nmea but not sonar-for sonar you'll have to connect with ethernet cable
