How to Easily Run Your Touch Unit in the House

- Many people have been frustrated trying to get their touch unit to work in the house. Batteries will work but with a simple trick. However, for just a few dollars, you can get a power supply that is easy to hook up and get going. And the power supply is less than the battery and doesn't have to be recharged. You can then use your unit to do updates, learn how to use it, manage waypoints, or even map study.
I'll hook up a Lowrance HDS Live 9" but this will work for any units (Lowrance, Garmin, Humminbird). You just have to make sure to properly fuse the power cable. And properly size the power supply too.
Also, at the end I'll show you the setup that I use at my house. It has WiFi, Ethernet, NMEA 2000, and the ability to handle multiple units at the same time.

Very cool. I literally took my electronics battery out today to update my units at home. What s pain.
I didn't know such a thing existed. I will be ordering one of these. Thanks for the video
I'm glad that it helped. I've been running with the setup that I showed in the video for a long time now. I've even used it to debug a NMEA 2000 network on a boat that was parked in the garage. And thanks for watching the video.
Looking good my friend. Very informative as always. Could have used this information years ago 😂 when I purchased the pre made commercial version. If I remember correctly it was for the lowrance 8
Thank you! I'm a DIY type person. More fun to design and build than to buy and use. I had seen too many posts over the years from folks that tried a battery in the house and were having issues. I'm really hoping this will help everyone. And one thing is that you can bring this on the road with you and use your unit where you're staying. That should be good for those inclement weather tournaments.
