jweiss,

Your diagram appears to be correct. By networking all of these products together,
- a second source of GPS data will be available to the system ... you may want to check with Lowrance regarding whether the LMF-200 supports GPS data source selection ... otherwise, it may cycle back and forth between the two GPS data sources or use a prioritization scheme embedded within the LMF-200's software.
- Heading data will be supplied to the MFD permitting the features found here to be supported
- Fuel Tank Level data will be supplied to the system, permitting the MFD to then be configured to display actual (vs estimated) Fuel Tank Level
- Fuel flow rate data will be supplied to the MFD, permitting its Fuel Manager feature to be utilized ... see Chapter 11 - Fuel Manager of the LightHouse II Release 17 Operators Manual.
- Speed through water data will be supplied to the MFD to support displaying this data item as well as to support data items dependent upon speed through water (ex. Tide Vector, etc.)
- Heading will be supplied to the system to support displaying this data item as well as support the feature specified within the FAQ found here.

Lowrance support would need to be contacted regarding any additional features which may be gained within the LMF-200 by interfacing these items to the same NMEA 2000 backbone.
