Just got the combo unit
We'll my Dad and I went and picked up our Lowrance lms 527 i today can't wait to get it in. One question thought I think it was Mac Attack that had a unit similar to this one, when i turn the unit so the screen is facing the celling you can see a little line at the top right hand corner and maybe an 1/8 from the top and running an inch to the left, and when you look it how it would be mounted you can't see it, does your have that? Also has anyone hooked the dsc radios up to their gps's?

The DSC should be fairly easy to hook up for most installs. Should use the standard NMEA0183 output from the GPS to the input on your VHF. Some VHF's can talk back to your GPS to provide DSC tracking info as well as AIS info. And I think there are a few NMEA2000 VHF's out there which makes the hook-up even easier. Now get the fuel flow probe and have a real time fuel management system.

Easy as FERM said.
I've got the old Humminbird Matrix with external antenna and a Cobra VHF.
The 3 wire pigtail from the antenna (1 wire capped was a power output) simply connected to a 2 wire plug going into the radio. Oh and you gotta get the EP10 Fuel Flow Sensor.
