Yamaha Integrated Chartplotter

Could it work for charts and depths by adding a transducer perhaps?
 
I found out this is because our conext screens do not accept sonar charts

I doubt it...the MFD from Actia has limits on what it can process due to programming and we don't know how a transducer would be wired/integrated into the stock unit, even if it would work.

I just went ahead and put in a Raymarine Axiom 7 and we're really happy with it. GPS is spot on and accurately follows location with depth and harzards data already there in the maps (I ordered the Axiom 7 with full North America maps so it covers everything). No more issues with new boating locations for us.

I know the 2023 has a different layout so you might have to improvise a bit compared to my 2020 with a flat dash.

212s is correct above. The conext just won't allow it

Thanks for the reply, that looks great
 
Good job, nice and clean. I don't think we'll have room to do that on the 195s dash.

there’s room for a go7 on the AR195’s

So you moved the connect where the radio was. Put a simrad where the connect was, then put the stereo where the phone holder was?
