Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Brian,

Comments:
- Fusion 700 Series and 750 Series radios feature a RJ45 (F) socket. Accordingly, these radios may be interfaced to the Ethernet Network socket of an a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFD or HS5 RayNet Network Switch via an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RJ45 (M) Cable.

- Only the MFD which will be used as the system's Data Master MFD need be interfaced as a spur to the SeaTalkng backbone.

- In order to share all system resources and data (except for NTSC/PAL video), the MFDs must be interfaced to one another either of the following methods:
----- install an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RayNet (F) Cable between an Ethernet Network socket of the e95 MFD and e97 MFD.
----- install a HS5 RayNet Network Switch. Interface the Digital Radar Cable to the HS5 RayNet Network Switch. Interface the Ethernet Ethernet Network socket of the e95 MFD and e97 MFD to the HS5 RayNet Network Switch via appropriate lengths of RayNet (F) to RayNet (F) Cable. Interface the Fusion Stereo to the HS5 RayNet Network Switch via an appropriate length of RayNet (F) to RJ45 (M) Cable.

- While the NMEA 0183 output of a SHS may be interfaced to one of the NMEA 0183 input ports of either MFD, please note that the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs do not feature support for linearization and alignment of a SHS. As such the SeaTalk communications link which you have shown from the SHS to the e97 MFD is not valid. Accordingly, should such calibrations need to be performed in the future, then the SHS would need to be replaced and it would typically be recommended that an EV-1 Sensor Core be used as the replacement for a SHS.

- Should the P319 have been designed for use with a DSM250, DSM30, DSM300, CP300, or CP370, then it may be adapted to be mated to the e97 MFDs Transducer socket via an E66066 Transducer Adapter as you have suggested.
