My dealer is having a hard time getting my new Raymarine A68 to use the new transducer (CPT110) to show both sonar and engine data from Smartcraft on the screen.

I think this is a first for him, because he doesn't do a whole lot of this stuff.

Any advice on what he needs and how to tie it all together? It's a 2009 Sea Ray 270 SLX. It had a Northstar 550 that was capable of showing engine data, but I never had sonar. In the recent lightning strike I lost the Northstar and transducer, so I selected a replacement based on the fact the Raymarine A68 was the only unit that could fit easily enough (only a slight modification needed) in the hole where the Northstar was. The A68 has built-in sonar and requires the right transducer, which he got. But now he's having a problem having the sonar show up on the screen.

Any installation advice GREATLY appreciated!
 
Chuck on the Raymarine Forum has been very helpful to me. Try posting the question to him on their site. Good Luck
