Thread: H'bird stuff I found out...

Wiskers - yessir, the 'ducer I'm using now is the big, flat whopper -
like six or seven inches long with metal bracket, which by the way I
like a whole lot better. I'm curious if you have the same result I did,
or maybe my little 'ducer was just bad???

Wantabe, I was sorta confused about all that too, let me just tell you how I've
got mine working, yours should be similar. Wish I cold draw a pic and post it.
Anyway, front unit y cable: nmea-com is hooked to front puck, accy-com is hooked to
20' cable that came with interlink, ran back to unit #2 port on interlink.

back unit y cable: nmea-com hooked to back puck, accy-com is hooked to the weathersense module, cable coming out other end of weathersense is plugged into unit #1 port on interlink.
There is a 10' cable that comes with the i'link I didn't need because the link and weathersense are mounted in a compartment right behind the 797, and the cable on
the weathersense was long enough so I didn't need the extra 10'.

The third port on the interlink is left open, empty.

The weathersense info will show up on the front df now, only catch is the back unit
has to be turned on for this to work. I've found out it's better for me to just leave both
units on the whole trip, I just turn the sonar off on the setup page if I'm gonna be at the
other end of the boat all day... reason for this, the waypoints you store will go to both
units without delay - if one is turned off, the next time you turn it on it will detect new
waypoints and go through the "sync" routine and ask if you want to add it to the other
unit. No big deal, but it takes a minute or two to run through.

If you've got Y cables already on both units, you shouldn't need anything else -
dummy me had lost one of my Y cables somewhere along the line, but
Three Rivers fixed me up with one.
