Ok I read thru the threads for info on hooking up my lowrance hds5 to my raymarine smartpilot via nmea 0183 , any one here do it ? I hooked up my cable to the coars computer but the pilot does not read it, should i only hook up two wires to the control instead? Any help would be appreciated, i will probly try to call raymarine tomarrow but just thought i w ouls see if you guys had the answer.thanks jimmy

I think im runnin off shore out of holland this weekend i will post with how i do. jimmy

thanks for your time Don!

nice day to be out good job!

Shweet! love those sea rays !!!

Just could not resist today:p so we took the boat to the dock and gave her a test run!! Every thing ran well with NO LEAKS! Wow i cant believe how much more ridgid the boat feels,it pops out of the hole and goes on plain much quicker. The only issue i had is one of the trim lines to the trim cylinder on the lower is leakin so i will replace them tomarow. Got the interior 90 % installed this afternoon and will finish tomarow and then load her up with gear! Tuesday we hope to set up the auto pilot and maybe wet a line for a few minutes.What a great feeling to get back on the water.Thanks for everyones encouragement over the winter and hope you all enjoyed my post on this project, this will probly be the last post on this thread but i will eventually have a video slide show i will post on the whole project. jimmy

Hang in there Jay hope you are well soon .

wtg Jim!!!!

nice job Randy!

Woohoo! worked most of the day on the boat ,put the motor in, the alignment sucked took almost 2 hrs to get it perfect but im very happy with it ! hooked up all the wires, hoses ect. change out the fuel line and valve,tried to start er up and no go, so after some head scratching and a few choice words i checked the new valve at the gas tank and it was defective ,put the old one in and less than two cranks it fired up and purred like a kitten!!! Now tuesday i will go and run it next to the dock , check for leakes ,make sure she shifts well and then put the interior back in, then the fishin gear and with any luck at all i will go next weekend to set up the new auto pilot and wet a line!!!!! Its been a long project but man do i feel great to be at the end of and a HUGE thanks to Nick cornell for all his help and putting up with me all winter in his barn!
