The question we get asked again and again is can I run my traditional gauges alonside my new NMEA200 screens? Yes you can! All that you have to do is swap out your old gauges for these NMEA 2000 gauges.
You will see that these gauges are marked PORT and STBD. NMEA 2000 data words allow for a twin engine boat, if you have a single engine boat choose the PORT gauges.
There is no programming with these gauges they are pure simple NMEA 2000 output devices. All of these gauges take their power and instructions from your NMEA 2000 network and your engine signal converter. Each gauge is fitted with a NMEA drop cable to plug into your backbone.
