This setup looks awesome. Do you know if there is a VHF/AIS/DSC radio which can interact with the GPS/Charts on the Connectx system?

Is connext nmea 200 or 0183 compatible or it's own thing? Look at the gps signal input to the screen if it has one. You guys with the fancy boats will have to look. IF it has a puck for the gps you may be able to integrate. If it's built into the unit, you need to look to see what inputs it has available anywhere. Look under the dash and stuff.

There is definitely a puck mounted forward of the drivers position just outside of the windscreen.

Finally finished with the Garmin 210 AIS install and NMEA2000 backbone. Just need to connect the GPS and finish hooking up fuse block.
Looks Great! Can you advise on the sizing of the piece of starboard you used? Also what sizes fuses did you use for the radio in the fuse block (did you keep the stock inline fuse)?

I got rid of the stock inline fuse and used normal automotive blade fuses.
