I'm doing this at home, I have the newer unit hooked up to a battery from the boat. Garmin did say that I only had to load the charts onto the newer unit and that the older unit would display them when they are networked together. At the Helm I can see both units because they are both registered...

Here's the chart area and memory usage on the iPad AC ...12.62 GB Here's the chart on the iPad... there is no shaded relief option on the 943...

I have tried all the suggestions. When I said 'delete evreything" I meant that Garmin's online help states if it doesn't work start over. I have done that twice. I know about switching the wifi. After downloading charts to the iPad I switch the wifi to the 943's Garmin network, it sees the iPad...

What a PITA...I bought the NVUS007 US East download. I put a new 32Gb SD card in my 943xsv. I used an iPad to download the charts I wanted using the moving box thing they have. The 943 network sees the iPad and connects and it updates everything except the maps. I get the great relief shading...

I spoke with Garmin, they suggested doing it through ActiveCaptain directly. They also confirmed the Vision+ will be on both units. Thanks for your help..

I have Active Captain setup and did use it to update the software on both units. Both units will be connected using a network cable. So it sounds like if buy the NVUS007 Vision update, it will upgrade the basemaps on my older unit and also upgrade both units to Vision+, is that right? I don't...

Help me out here. I bought an 943xsv 2 years ago and dropped the extra $250 for the VUS004R New York BlueChart g3 Vision card. This year I got a second unit which shipped with Navionics base maps and apparently can't use the old Vision card. It came with Navionics base maps. If I buy the upgrade...

I got a Guardian 7 for 2004 Sportsman 180 this year but haven't had a chance to use it yet. How does it hold? Easy to set? How much chain and what size? I went with 10ft of 3/16". After I got the Guardian I called about something and they told me the Fortress coating is better in saltwater, too...

I just got one for my 180 from RNR Marine but won't be setting it up til next weekend, will let you know.

Thanks, got it. The total run (there and back) is about 22ft, the pump's instructions said 14ga is good to 20ft, then too much voltage drop, so I went with 12ga.

I'm adding a washdown pump which needs a 15A fuse. My 180 has two empty switches in the dash for added accessories. The existing fuse is a 5A. Can I just swap it out for a 15A? Here's where I intend to connect it, does positive just go to the switch and black right to the ground busbar? I...

Doesn't really guarantee it won't happen, only that if it does you have recourse...I hope it works though, I'm tired of waxing every year, and it's only the second year and it's only a 180...:p

Some manufacturers make specific bath caulk that is mold resistant.

Makes sense, thank you.

As I have pointed out, it is not a refit.

Both the washdown and the livewell will be supplied by the single inlet on the bottom of the livewell pump, has nothing to do with draining the ocean, has to do with starving a pump when they are both running. Not an insignificant point. This is the first washdown pump on this boat so can't...

Putting a Shurflo Blaster raw water washdown pump on my 180 Sportsman. Is there any practical reason to go up to the 4gpm model? Pressure differential is 45psi vs 60psi. water will shoot further and hit harder with the 4gpm but is that of any practical use on an 18ft boat where I'll be able to...

Thanks for straightening me out. You're correct, I bought the Vision upgrade for the first unit. Interested to hear what you find out. I've never used Active Captain, perhaps I'll set up the older unit on a battery to update. What irks me is paying $250 for the card and after a little more...

in 2021 I purchased a 943xsv and paid the extra $250 for the Blue Chart G/3 upgrade. This year I purchased a second 943xsv to network with the first one and it came with Navionics preloaded. I was wondering how the 2 would work together when having different chart systems so I called. I was told...

So I can assume you haven't used them....thanks...
