Foster, use the NMEA 0183 plug. My E120 came with a short data cable that I connected to apx 30' of standard data cable. Unless your AIS indicates a different baud rate make sure you set it to 38400. You'll find the setting in Systems Setup.

Hi
I do not have my owners manual with me here (its on our boat that is 80 miles away)but I think I connected the serial head to the vga out connector on the E120. Hope this helps

Did Hampton last year and relly enjoyed it. They have a town marina there with lots of transit slips or you can drop the hook right there off the town marina docks (green top) and go to shore via dingy dock. There is a very nice hotel and lots of ...
Hello,
Thank you for the information. Can you tell me on which plug you put your video cable on the E120

James, it sounds like a great plan. I hope you'll be able to do al if not some of it. As you said even a portion of it would be wonderful. My job would permit me to do the same thing but unfortunately my wife's does not. Eventually we'd like to do...
James, the Honda genset sounds nice, especially the Ecco mode. Right now I don't have any plans on adding one but it's something I'll keep in mind. To install the Victron I drilled through the bulkhead. The engine insulation came with it although ...
Yeah, I have the voltage panel now but its not giving me enough "real" info on battery status. We will be monitoring both the house and engine battery.As you know we carry a Honda gen as back up and use it to charge the batteries when on the hook....

- The photos are great! I sent copies to my family in Florida. Thanks. We have a couple small things. The head is a problem on a lot of these boats. We have the back fill problem some others mention but we are living with it til a solution is found. Those electric pumps cannot completely clear out the sanitary lines and the joker valve cannot hold the stuff back forever. It appears the stuff is pumped up to the top of the the tank and dropped into the tank? (Is this correct?)
Our monitor panel is out of sync. It shows our fuel tank as full when it is actually half full. Water measurements seem okay. Overall I think it is one heck of a boat ad we really enjoy ours. Will probably be going to Hampton this weekend. Winds are going to be out of N on Friday at 15kts(2-3ft seas) and of SW at 10-15 (2ft seas) Sunday. 40% chance of rain. Should be fun

- Thanks Mike not at all...It all goes in a big plastic Keeper. The art is just leaning, and the pictures on bulkhead just a small nail..takes me 10 min or less...I put the keeper on the sole carpet and it stays put.
The refrige is screwed down....Micro and cook top goes in V berth...see kitchen in other photo at the end of my photos.
The boat was hardly used...engine too...thus the rebuild job i just had done.
