Is our pleasure that we can help
that gps Radio is the same i have in my fsh is great and the gps is great for secondary emergency only if you Simrad fails, in long trips have extra fuses always .
I call the manufacture of Standar Horaison because wen i place the coordinance on that gps u can only see a dot on the screen within 10 miles from the point of arrival ,so wen i went to bimini i had to name 4 way-points that way i can always in a emergency guide my self by seeing a dot on the screen, it gives me a peace of mind.
i had bigger boats in the pass but these 190 fsh is been my favorite is lees maintenance and is not afraid of the open ocean.
read your owner manual wen u get it ,because you have a break in period the Dealer may tell u that.
Navigate safe my frind....

I changed my mind on the GPS unit, I went with the Lowrance HDS 7 (updated pics above) I went to west marine and played around with one today ... nice toy!

i like the lowrance 7 and it looks great on the center console im happy with mine i paid about $700 in amazon

@Big Joe there is many different type of tickle chargers that you can buy to charge when boat is being stored, but i also use a solar tickle charger that I purchased at Harbor Freight fro $12 on Black Friday.
It is a 7 watt solar pannel charger that puts out .5 of an Amp at 24V.
I put this on my home or starter battery depending on the need. I hook it up and strap it to a bungie cord to the battery door compartment when I leave the boat outside when dryng or when I'm preparing the boat and driving to the marina. That way if i forget to charge the battery i can make sure the battery gets charge while im on my way.

 

[Danielmailin]

Rule of thumb to check if a battery is fully charged is by measuring voltage 12.6 fully charged:

This is my set up when using the solar tickle charger:

@OUT ON THE REEF , I got the same deal on Amazon. I looked at your video again as before you said you had the same model I didn't really pay attention. It looks great....perfect fit in that dash too.

What do you do for battery charging? Did you install a dual charger or do you just use a trickle? I am thinking about installing a 2 bank waterproof charger that has an easy plug and play. I like the idea of bringing the boat home, cleaning it, pulling it in the garage and plugging it in. Done! The easier the better.

I have small slow charger that stops wen battery are charged and i have a dual battery i charge one at a time .

That's too bad! As part of your penance you must post pictures of your outing so all of us that are looking at snow can feel sorry for you!

@OUT ON THE REEF - How did you connect your Lowrance to the Standard Horizon? What cable did you have to get for the Lowrance? Have a part # by chance?

Update - I found the cable - NDC-4 - NMEA-0183 Output Adaptor Cable - Now working on color code

Update 2 - Found it
Yellow <----------->Blue
Orange <----------->Grey
Shield <----------->Green

Search and thy shall find. Gotta love Google!

I did not conect them together

 

[Danielmailin]

Cool, I have not done the connection my self, seems pretty easy. I will try to get it done this weekend.

 

[Danielmailin]

@Big Joe did u pick up ur boat?

 

[Billy Marlin]

Dealer called this week my boat is coming in next week and it has the aluminum trailer.
My Add on's:
Minn Kota Riptide ST with iPilot and iPilot link
Humminbird Helix 9 (Used to be a lowrance guy until they stopped standing by their products when some other company bought them)
Console Cup Holder https://jetboatpilot.com/index.php?id_product=892&controller=product
SeaDek Swim platform mats

Having my GPS mounted to the right side of the cup holder on a ram mount. This is so I can turn it around and view from the front of the boat while trolling over structure. I can also remove this unit since my boat will be staying in a boat slip for most of the summer.

 

[OUT ON THE REEF]

Well... now you know what you will need and how to... If you ever want to connect them and get true GPS location on your radio too. I thought you had connected them when you said you called Standard Horizon support.

Big Joe

What are the benefits of conecting them?
