    Newer Sea Ray Steering Wheel + Garmin Install

    Just purchased a ‘02 300 Sundancer and was bothered by the old GPS. Replaced that with a newer Garmin and found a killer deal in a new steering wheel. Installed super easily.

    Fox Gateways and Garmin MFD's

    I wish I could brag about a complex technical challenge that I solved, but after installing my Fox Gateways to link my MEFI 1's to my Garmin gear, it was clear that it was a beginner-level DIY project. Literally plug-and-play. ...which isn't to say that I didn't make mistakes. Mistake #1 was...

    44 Sundancer No GPS on VesselView. No Skyhook or Auto pilot

    All, I am in the process of creating a NEAMA2000 network for my Garmin Chart plotters to receive data from Smartcraft to VV. However, can this same network be the GPS for the VesselView? My GPS is not currently working and I do not have the Skyhook feature etc. I just bought the boat this...

    Garmin MFD and Raytheon 650 Autopilot

    2000 510DA. I’m a newbie and trying to figure out my Garmin 7215 MFD and original Raytheon 650 autopilot. First, I don’t know if they are connected but here’s my problem: the boat icon on my MFD is always off by say 30 degrees. The navigation track (bread crumbs) is accurate but that little icon...

    PC Charting Software

    Based on some posts I read here, I downloaded the "free" Garmin Home Port software. Unfortunately, it appears to require that you purchase a $160 chart to use it. Am I missing something? I just want to have something much less expensive or even free to plan cruises at home so I can estimate...

    Garmin 7610xsv: Will it fit in my 2007 310 DA?

    Hey all, Boat show season is coming up and I am planning to replace the Raymarine C80 unit that came with the boat when I bought it. I have my eyes on a Garmin 7610xsv and will also add the radar to replace the current one. I wanted to know if anyone had setup that unit on a 2007 Sundancer 310...

    Can you connect 99 7.4 Mercruiser engines to a garmin 7610 GPS - NMEA 2000?

    I have seen some really great things done with tying GPSs to the engines. I heard that the NMEA 2000 connection will only connect 2007 and new boats. I have a 99 340 DA - is there an after market product that someone makes that will allow me to connect the engines to the GPS? I know I have 2...

    Where to put the autopilot compass unit?

    Hi. I have a 1999 Sundancer 270 and am about to install a Garmin GHP 10 autopilot. I will need to locate the compass unit, and based on the instructions it seems like above the sump pump in the steps leading down to the cabin would be an ideal location. However, I have a hard time seeing how I...

    Installing Garmin 546 on a Sea Ray 215

    Any thoughts on installing a Garmin 546 on a Sea Ray 215. I'm thinking about wiring the unit to plug directly into a 12v outlet rather than connecting it to the fuse bank behind the steering wheel since i rather not punch a bunch of holes in the fiberglass. However i'm not sure if this is the...

    Hooking a Garmin GFS 10 Fuel Monitor to Sundancer 280 Fuel Guage

    I just installed a terrific Garmin chart plotter and GFS10 fueld monitors on my twin 4.3 IOs. The last step is to hook up the fuel tank. I need the ignition switch and the fuel level. I pulled the gauge and have 4 wires. Does anyone know which two I need? Thanks, Mark

    Garmin or Raymarine? Which is better radar/chartplotter?

    Garmin or Raymarine

    I'm researching chart plotters / GPS for our SLX, I had a Raymarine on my Sundancer, and it was touch and go.. But when it worked it worked well, and had lots of integrated pieces (gps, radar, sonar, etc..). I doubt well connect anything more then just basic plotting / GPS, mainly remembering...

    Anyone with Garmin 740 chartplotter and RAM mount?

    I currently have a Garmin 3210 (10" display) which, while the large display is great, it is much too large for my helm area. So I'm considering going to a Garmin 740s which is a 7" display. I'm trying to find a compatible mount to go with it at the helm, but haven't been successful in searching...

    Chartplotting Newbie..

    Thanks for reading this.... I've tried reading the forums, spoken with the dealership and local West Marine, and I think I am more confused than ever... In our local waters - we know them real well - but that was always a 19-21' bowrider. On our new boat, we would like a navigator to boost...
