[CA] [CA11] autopilot

[David Fice]

Thanks Chuck,

I think I've got it but I have a few more questions.

When you say "A powered and properly terminated SeaTalking/NMEA 2000 backbone" How do I properly terminate the NMEA cable?

My other question concerns grounding. I don't understand what an RF ground point is and what a drain conductor (screen) is.


The electric system on the C-Dory is minimal, should I run a separate supply from the battery to the ev-200 and then power the back bone from the ev200 and from the backbone power the displays? Will the drive unit (octopus) need a separate power supply?

Thanks,
Dave
