Moving Bowmount GPS to Rear – Networking Question

Here’s my current set-up: LCX-28cHD at the rear and 520c on the bow. LCX-28cHD shares GPS puck with 520c via network.

I didn’t install this (came from the factory set up) so I’m not exactly sure of what parts and pieces were used to network the two units to share GPS. I know there are a couple of T’s behind the dash but I didn’t inspect the configuration very close when I had the dash panel off for other reasons.

What I want to accomplish is when I know I won’t be fishing from the bow I’d like to move the 520 to the back of the boat and mount it beside the LCX-28 and use it for GPS only. Ideally I would like to put a RAM ball there and have the necessary wires there for a quick plug-n-play for GPS.

So networking experts, my question is what equipment do I need and how do I incorporate it into the current wiring to accomplish a mobile 520?

Thanks.

Danno,

You would just need to get another T and the necessary
length cable to reach the 520 from the T.
You’ll have to remove a terminator to tie into the existing
T. Just install it into the other end of the new T.

You’ll also need to supply power to the 520 at its new
location.

Sounds good to me, please note to not power the bus again, it is already powered by the 28, so you will not need to power it again, in fact it’s rumored to cause damage if you do so.

Sounds easy enough, but the tough part might be finding the red network stuff unless anyone knows of a place perhaps?

Thanks!
