I have a Triton 301sx installed for the display.

I installed a Triton 301sx to view on a Garmin 1040SX and Furuno GP1870. Both GPSs see the input but do not show the position. in other words, it doesn't work. Please make sure it will work with your GPS before purchasing, it is not universally compatible.

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • weak

Cannot be used on all multifunction displays

Does not work with Raymarine Axiom Mfd. This is not stated in the product description making it totally unusable. It's quite a bit of work to install, which makes it worse. I have not received any correspondence from Bennet after several emails. So much for exceptional service and support.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Lack of performance

Plug and Play: Marine electronics

Boat just started and didn't get a fuel gauge, maybe I missed something during setup. Bennett and Lowrance Technical Support must be contacted. The fantastic news was that the sensors I already had in the trim cylinders should work with the Nema 2000 converter so I didn't have to take my boat apart to reinstall them.

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Minor repairability

Upgrading my old Bennett Tabs

I bought this for 2 reasons; First, one of my old top hinges came off, so I needed a replacement. Second, I wanted to be able to see where my tabs are while I work. This set met both of my needs. Through the NMEA network I can see where they are on my chartplotter screen.

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Negative Gift

I installed them on my 410 Silverton. Installation was relatively easy and took about 2 hours plus 24 hours for the sealant to cure. Wiring is easy too. The problem is that they need to be calibrated on the NMEA network to work. I have Raymarine multifunction displays and there is no support for them. The trimmers on the MFP keep flashing from 0% to 100%. I'm replacing one of my Raymarine i70's with a Maretron DSM410 so I can calibrate the trims and also see the EGT. Turns out Raymarine isn't…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Upgradeable
