Well I started this thread and now I have FFS. The cost was just under 3k for everything. So many little things to note about the install. Did you know that NMEA2000 does not share transducers that are on NMEA2000 with Lowrance products? Only waypoints share on that network. You need a propitiatory Lowrance either net cable to share transducers. The FFS unit plugs into that network. I have mine installed on Ipilot Minn Kota and it is a riptide trolling motor. Because of the design I can no longer use anchor lock on my trolling motor. The cables get all wrapped up if I use that feature. Tin boat will benefit from anchor lock.

All greek to me except for "cost was just under 3k"

On some trips, I still carry a spark plug on a string marked every 5' to determine depth

Very exciting capt mike!  I look forward to fishing with you and seeing how this works.
