Has anyone added a NEMA backbone in order to connect a fishfinder and trolling motor? I'm trying to figure out how to connect and Xi5 and Lowrance.

There are a couple of kits out there. You will need the power supply, the backbone and the lines from the backbone to the specific item. You will also need to terminate the backbone.

If you haven't figured this out yet, you will need a NEMA 2000 starter kit and a MotorGuide Pinpoint Gps Gateway for the Xi5. I have the same trolling motor and a Lowrance HDS 9 on my FSH. Super easy to install. Got the gateway from Home Depot for $130 and the NEMA starter kit from Academy for $50.
