    It's not that I want to hook them up separately, I just want to keep my two separate battery banks, It just looks to me like connecting them together like that diagram shows would turn everything into a single bank of batteries, which in my head removes the whole point of the starting/house battery situation I have setup currently. I wired all accessories to the house battery bank (which in my setup is two 31 series deep cycle batteries in parallel) and wired the main and kicker to the stater battery bank (high amp 27 series starting battery). This is all new to me too and I may be looking at wrong, I have a tendency to overthink things sometimes.

    Didn’t you essentially turn your 2 batteries into a single bank by connecting like that with the chargers controller? I’d like to maintain 2 separate banks with my batteries. Is that possible with just one controller?
  3. Nameless Fish
    Could you send me some more info on your setup? I don't need the inverter but I also have a hardtop and it sounds like your setup is exactly I'm looking to do.

    My new boat has a 110 outlet flush mounted on the outside of the pilot house for the on-board 3 bank battery charger. Can I get a solar panel that would output 110 with the right connector to just plug into that port to charge my batteries while it's sitting at the dock? I'm hoping for a simple self-contained unit I can just plug in and not have to mess with controllers or inverters, but I'm not really familiar with solar.

    Ok one last hypothetical for you… the 8012 is flush mounted into the dash and I’d like to keep it there. Say I buy a 943xsv for the back deck. I then add a b60 I already have to the 943, and add the 943 to the n2k network and Ethernet it to the 8012. Would that work to display sonar (traditional and down/side) and allow access to everything on the n2k network at both units?

    Ok, how about this one... Say I remove the 8012 and the GCV10 from the dash and install something like a 943xsv or 8610xsv (cash is a little tight after the boat purchase) there instead. I could then use the GT30/B60/Y-cable setup like I had on my old boat? Could I use the 8012 on the rear deck to display and control sonar/AP/radio (basically everything besides the radar)? Or do I still need both the modules to display any type of sonar on the 8012?

    Boat also has Garmin xHD 18 radar, NMEA 2k network for Reactor 40 kicker AP and Suzuki engine management, it's also somehow connected with the Fusion marine headunit (I haven't looked into this yet). Will the echomap line of units support all of that?

    What a pain it is having to add all of these modules to this 8012. A simple Y cable on my old 93sv UHD and I had a GT30 and B60 transducer giving me side/down/traditional sonar. All for the same price as what just the modules cost for the 8012. I'm assuming I'm going to need to buy a transducer on top of the GSD24? The 8012 has 4 network ports on the back.
  9. Nameless Fish
    Picked up a new boat and need to add a transducer to it. Currently the previous owner had a Garmin 8012 to a GCV10 scanning sonar module to a GT30 transducer. As far as I can tell there is no option for traditional sonar with his setup. I’d like to keep the GT30 setup for side/down view(and Ethernet hub capabilities of the GCV10) but add traditional sonar to this setup. Boat will be 95% used for salmon trolling.

    That is extremely helpful information, thank you! Pictures would be great if you don't mind

    I'm looking for a fixed kicker bracket and am curious what brands others are running. Anyone ever have issues with the Panther brackets? They are cheap compared to most other brackets I've seen and am hesitant to hang a brand new $3k motor off a $150 bracket.
  13. Nameless Fish
    I'm looking to put it on a Suzuki 9.9 as well. So you're saying you just bought the kit (plus the additional brackets needed for a Suzuki) and installed it as if it was a tiller per the instructions? And you didn't experience any of the issues they mentioned in that message that would happen if you installed on a non-tiller?
  14. Nameless Fish
    This what I was sent from Garmin support.
  15. Nameless Fish
    I contacted Garmin support about it and they said they don't recommend, or support install on non-tiller models and a "custom install" would invalidate the warranty of the product. I'd hate to spend $3k and the instantly ruin the warranty 5 minutes later.
