Starting the complete Garmin integrated system install on an old boat

[Barking Sands]

Well, I have finally been able to start the complete Garmin install. I had to lay a bit of foundation first with the GMS10 network router, a Blue Seas fuse block with the negative buss (love these) and the NMEA backbone. Once that was wired in then most stuff so far has been easy with the exception of running some of the larger plug/cables through some tiight areas. Using the fiberglass rods for running wires is a big help. Especially if you have to hit a certain angle. As usual I document some details in a video. Garmin seems to not be popular here on TF but even so I will document all the details of how it works out and what is gimmicky and what is not. So far so good though. As everything has been plugged in so far it just seems to work. Items in red have been installed.

The list of equipment to be installed, integrated and tested:

923XSV upper and lower helm
Navionics Vision + charts
Reactor 40 AP
Shadow drive
Garmin 2.0 liter AP pump
GMR Phantom 50w radar
GT15-IH transducer
GMS10 router
Reactor Remote control for AP
GHC 50 touch screen AP control (lower helm)
GHC20 AP control (upper helm)
GRF10 rudder feedback
Fusion RA-210 audio
Quatix 7 watch with AP, stereo, chart plotter controls :lol: Not sure if this will be very useful
