Buyer Warning! suitable for marine electronics

Looks great as a paperweight. Does not read engine data. The company will not replace a defective product. Regarding the 30 day rule, I had 45 days. Almost 3,000 issued in the last 18 months. You won't see a dime for future purchases.

Pros
  • Connects to an established NMEA 2000 network
Cons
  • Gotchas

Does what it's supposed to do

My setup; I have a HB 7, 10 and 12 G3N coil with nmea2k kit and ethernet switch. There is also an I-Pilot connection to my Ultrara motor and claws. Yamaha 150sho This box does exactly what it should. I get data from the engine as needed. Operating hours, fuel, temperature, speed. Yes, it doesn't get a header from the head unit. However, I spoke to HB about this, they said that the NMEA network works independently of the head unit. Essentially, it acts as an indicator for the network, not anโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Fish finders and depth finders
Cons
  • Fits

Really pointless for what you get.

I have a Helix 7 Mega SI g3n unit and Minn Kota Terrova with IPilot Link and a brand new Honda BF150, expects at least the same information I'm getting from Honda OEM sensor (trim/temp engine/ oil/hours/tach), all I get from Helix is the tach and engine temp. The money spent to put everything together correctly is just not worth the money. So you can only connect a trolling motor to a Helix 7 with a wired adapter, but you can't do the same with a motor, it requires that 'black box'. bothโ€ฆ

  • Electronics

  • Hard to tell

Reason I hate it: 1) It only reads engine RPM from .

On the 1XXX, 9XX and 8XX series units, this unit is intended to allow you to "use" NMEA 2000 data on the network. What were my expectations when purchasing: 1) Collect data from my other NMEA 2K devices on the network, 2) Create a custom display on my HB box (similar to what is shown on pages 35-37 in the installation guide), 3 ) to be able to see navigation information on my remote sensor that is not connected to my console. Everything seems reasonable, doesn't it? You get this from Lowranceโ€ฆ

  • Marine Electronics
