![]() ![]() Unless you are connecting "backwards" to other 0183 devices, there should be no technical reason to use that port, especially not just for 2 wires feeding power, that's just clearly an in-between standards design flaw.ĭon't worry Ben, I don't blame others for my temporary knowledge gap, that's why I'm posting on here to close that gap. However, all of my other GARMIN instruments including the hull transducer, 2 separate displays, and the computer control box are powered through the network, and it's simply a matter of time until they improve the cabling to push enough power through the network to all devices. Unfortunately GARMIN does not clearly label this fact on the 547 install manual. The fact is that NMEA 2000 backbones which are connected to a 12V source have the ability to power "some" devices and not others. The problem is that the marine industry is only incrementally moving forward in basic networking and currently living between two standards. Don't be scared Ben, it's all just networking fundamentals which I have an above-average skill in so I'm sure I'll work though it.
