I have a 2014 Striper 220 DC with Etec 225hp, rotary steer soon to be changed to hydraulic steer. (New to me as of last week). Currently have a Lowrance HDS7 Gen 2, 83/200hz transducer and a 3G Lowrance Radar.
I want to add a second MFD and autopilot. Everything I have read along with its capabilities points me to Raymarine autopilot. I like the redundancy of screens and transducers.
Questions;
1) If I bought a Raymarine e series 9 or 12 and a EV100 or EV150 can I wire them into my existing Lowrance NEMA backbone without any issues between both Lowrance MFD and Raymarine MFD?
2) Will the transducers from both be ok so long as they are mounted a distance from each other?
3) If all is ok what parts exactly do I need to order to make this happen.
