    Default DIY Garmin network


    Has anyone on here done on of the DIY networks with the cheap Amazon/Walmart hubs in a waterproof box? I priced everything and can do it for $100. Seem several on YouTube but videos aren’t too old yet.

    Don't see any reason it wouldn't work
    The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass along

    I saw a Youtube video that said it worked fine. Only downside is it is not waterproof.

    I found some waterproof cord grips for cat6 cable and you can buy the Garmin style ends for units.

    That’s one I watched. Also one about a Walmart $20 hub.
