View the latest post Attachment(s) NMEA 2000 Network and FOX Marine Engine gateways


This is a project I have been looking forward to since I purchased this Carver 406. I have made a video and put it on my new YouTube channel. Here is the link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUqpJkHFHOY&t=40s.

In the video, I created a simple graphical diagram to visualize the outcome before getting started. This process helped me out greatly. The connections on my NMEA2000 network are my compatible devices like a GPS antenna, Fusion radio, Garmin Chartplotter, Victron charger, Victron Cerbo GX and FOX marine MEFI-3 (in my case) gateways with the optional oil pressure switch.

This project was far simpler than I originally thought. I also learned the FOX Marine Application on Android or Apple OS gives you a lot of information when the engines are running. The information it displays rivals the DIACOM software I purchased last year, and you can view, and clear error codes form your phone or tablet. The App does cost $4.99 USD. This is not a replacement for Diacom but for a novice like me, it does a great job.

If you take time to watch the video and have any suggestions, please let me know. And if you like it please hit the thumbs up :-D :-D I hope this post is helpful.
