My Biggest Confusion is with the Power. I'm hooking up a Motorguide Xi5 to a Lowrance HDS Touch. It hooks into your existing NMEA 200 Network. From what I understand the NMEA Network needs it's own power. I'm just not sure what the power distribution is. Do things plugged into the Network draw power from this power supplied to the Network? For instance if I plug a GPS Puck into the Network, would it get it's power from the Network or would it need it's own power supply? Same question for Lowrance, Electric Fuel Gauge etc... It just seems strange to have something with it's own power plugged into something that has power. hmmmm
Not a whole lot of info out there about setting up the Motorguide & Lowrance.
