Based on the Google Photo and the T "trunks" visible through the console cutout and the cables @Huxstang laid out on the red mat. They are both NMEA2000.

Hux. 
Are they both nmea2000 backbones? 
 
 
Connect the power to the backbone you installed. 
Cut the power to the existing backbone by disconnecting the yellow power lead from the end. 
In place of the power lead you can then connect a link cable an link it to the backbone you fitted you fitted. 
 
It's an easy fix and you can then have engine data on your plotter. 
 
Hope that makes sense.

Same here. 
We asked for the initials of my late sister inlaw. 
They came back and said no problem with the letters, and then told us the numbers, which were random picks by the computer, however the numbers turned out to be her date of birth. 
My wife broke down in tears at the counter. 
Meant to be imo. 
 
 
I see you have 3 letters HUX. 
Could really personalise with 3 letters and 2 numbers. 
Almost like car plates.

Try it out. 
That's the best thing about fishing. 
 
Careful tying braid to the swivel. 
Braid knots can slip. 
Bimini twist with a catspaw onto swivel will stop that problem.

A fair amount of electronics to go in and I will take pics as I go.  I am sure I can find some image library to upload to.
All Garmin:
GPSMAP 1253 and 953xsv flush mount in console;
GT51TM and GT56UHD transducers
GPSMAP 8416 on a  RAM mount at bow
Livescope Plus (LVS34)
GPS24xd GPS puck with heading sensor
full Garmin network and NMEA network.
Transducer Poles Australia QD and collapsible livescope pole and the TPA powerpoint for easy detachment of the Livescope.  (TPA is in Brisbane (Logan) and highly recommend for anyone after a transducer pole - mine is alloy upper and carbon tube lower - fantastic customer service)
Trolling motor is the Garmin Kraken 73” with the built in GT56UHD in it. (not likely to arrive before end of September).
North Coast Boating Centre fitted the Zipwakes and the remote head VHF for me.
Suzuki engine gauge also has a GPS puck attached.

Not on the bayside but close enough.
Rowland Street boat trimmers will be able to help you with, a custom bimini.

Arrived around Sunrrise.
Top Morning.
Chasing Blackfish. Got the berley going.
Quite start.
Ended up with 6.  32 to 35cm.
Cheers.

Sure would.  I got another 40cm this morning and Brett got a 39 - plus a few other decent sized ones to add to the Esky.

That's another ripper, Kat. I know it is the same fish though. The 1cm shrinkage happens when you freeze them. Next year it'll be 41cm.

Responding to my own post... Not quite a year, 1 cm smaller but still a great catch.  This one was almost dead low tide just after dusk.  Same spot X.

I have been meaning to do a bait-free session for ages. I used to do this occasionally years ago, but since I retired I have spent more time fishing with other people and it has been mostly bait with token attempts at lure or plastics, or a combination. So, with @ellicat not being here to reinforce my lazy ways, and because it is still snapper closure, I decided today was the day.  
No sense making it too hard for myself so flathead was the target species. I also decided to go light (4 lb braid with 6lb fluoro) and only take the one outfit (Samaki Zing Extreme 1-3kg with a small 1000 size Twinpower). Launched at Port of Brisbane about 2 hours before low tide and hit up a bank where I have caught plenty of flatty on plastics in the past. Decided to have a troll but had no luck so moved to a different bank and had instant success, pulling in around 10 flathead but they were all around that just legal size so all released to do their thing with the breeding females who were no doubt close by. 
Changed to casting up onto the shallow banks as the tide started the run in. Got a few more and lost a couple of big girls close to the boat. Started wishing I had bought a slightly heavier outfit, but had a lot of fun anyway. I kept 2 for a feed, then changed to a Samaki vibe in deeper water as the tide got bigger. I could see lots of action on the sounder and pulled up a couple of decent snapper in the mid-40s which were released boatside.
Overall, a fun little session that has inspired me to do more bait-free sessions, but didn’t stop me pulling into Mr Bait on the way home to stock up for a snapper session next week. 

104cm and 7.5kg

Hi guys, I haven't posted a session report in a while so i thought I would do my latest session and a few highlights from these past months of fishing. The fishing these past few months started off well, with lots of jewies about and a bunch of good size snapper. These 2 past months have been very slow for getting bait during the day and I think i've only caught one herring on a sabiki since. 
I rocked up to the local around 8:30pm for a small session. There were 3 blokes fishing, all with frowns on their faces i'm guessing they were not enjoying their fishing trip. They told me there was no bait around and they had begun packing their equipment up. I gave the net about 10 throws before I gave up and waited for the tide to run again- about 15 minutes. By that time the blokes had gone home and I had the jetty to myself, I gave the net a throw and the prawns had completely turned on and I was getting about 2 or 3 per cast. I casted these out on all 3 rods and cracked open a solo. About 20 minutes and a bait change later, a family who I have met previously came to the jetty to see if i had caught any fish or prawns. They were mesmerised by the prawns and were talking to me about if i had caught any fish when I heard the bell on the tip of my rod start ringing, i ran over the to the rod and it started screaming. I picked it up and clicked the bait runner into gear, the fish must have turned around because I thought it might be a small jewfish or a snapper. Th e fish charged the jetty and it was only when I saw it surface that I realised it was massive. As soon as I caught a glimpse of it it took off, peeling probably 30 metres of line from my reel. It started heading for the jetty which I had to quickly put a stop to. After 3 or 4 more smaller runs and a terrifying run in with a pylon and a crab pot rope I pulled it into the safety of the dilly which I promptly lifted up onto the jetty. It was a massive thready, it looked like a new PB

. I quickly snapped a few photos, gave it a measure and a tag and then ran with it my arms down to the rocks at the bottom of the jetty. I was wading waist deep in the river trying to revive it but it had swallowed the hook, lost a few scales and had pretty severe barotrauma so it wasn't looking good for her. I swam her for 10 minutes but after a failed release attempt and an unsuccessful venting job using a tagger I knew it was going to come home for dinner. 
It was sad not being able to release it but I knew that they tasted great so I wasn't too sad. I stayed fishing for about an hour longer and managed to pickup a new PB bream of 37cm and a really fat catty.

I was supposed to be home by 1130  but I ended up getting home at 1140 and my parents were not too happy with me going out to the servo to get ice haha. Overall it was a really enjoyable nights fishing and it made some very tasty sashimi the next day. 
All the fish were caught on live prawns, the tide was the bottom of the incoming, the moon phase was 60% waning gibbous, the water was reasonably clear

I will leave some highlights of the past few months of fishing at the bottom
