Who knows Lowrance EP20 interface Suzuki

[Michel]

Hello, remember me ??
I need help !
I'm looking for this interface to be able to read all the engine data through the test connector of my engine. This interface will be connected on the other side to a Lowrance Chartplotter (NMEA 2000 Networks).
The problem is that in Halkida, nobody knows this product, even the Suzuki shop in Athen
Is there somebody, in this forum, who already heard about ?:

2nd question :D
I'm looking for also a shop in Athen to find GPS Lowrance (GlobalMap 5300C iGPS)

Thanks ! :

1. The interface you are looking for is a lowrance product (click here) and not suzuki. That's why the guys at suzuki couldn't help you.
You would need to contact Lowrance agent in Piraeus:
Technava S.A.
6, Loudovikou square
Piraeus 18531
Tel: 210-4620359

NB: Shark (Italian, member of this forum) has installed this interface. You can ask him for details.

2. The shop you are looking for to buy equipment is the same as above.
But I also searched through a Greek website (http://www.skroutz.gr locates the cheapest provider of the item you are looking for) and had following result (I've also typed in your postal code for Halkida so to get a distance from these shops).

Conclusion: you need to get yourself to Piraeus

Thanks a lot MDK

Just one question more : Do you know if these stores in Piraeus are open on saturday afternoon ? Because, for sure, I have to go :thumbs:

[mdk]

I would only guess that they should be open until 15:00.
But anyway you should call them to make sure they do have in stock what you need! ;)

[Michel]

Yes I'm going to contact them !
Thank you again !

check here to see what I think you are looking for.
I think that what you want is :
LowranceNet NMEA 2000 data sharing made simple (red connector)
and exactly:

Lowrance Suzuki Engine I/F cable (red connector) 120-55

what you are looking for, made me wonder, can I also connect my DF140 with my CP300i Standard Horizon (with NMEA input)
anybody knows?

[Michel]

In the end I found it here with very good price, same for LMF400

About your CP300i Standard Horizon, I don't know, but for sure, it must be compatible with NMEA 2000 network

Michel nice move! (but this is not in Athens as originally requested :p)

As I said, contact Shark for details. I remember he had some probs at the beginning.

[Michel]

Right, MDK, it was not plant to buy on line but in addition I wanted to buy at the same opportunity a Chartplotter Lowrance.and when I'v seen the price on the Greek site
I couldn't imagine the price in shop !!!
Half price in US Website :thumbs:
So I'll visit Piraeus later :
Anyway, It's good to know that Lowrance shop is present in Athens !
Before to contact Shark for details, I waiting to see which connector will be provide with the EP20 probe, because I know that many problems come from connection.

By the way, other subject :
I went this afternoon to Nea Stira to form an opinion on this place. I would like to go there to test my new Rib. I plant to start from Eretria, what do you think about, good sea in this area ??
What about the island in front of Nea Stira, interesting to visit or just for a breack ?

[mdk]

Michel, all equipment in US is half price (incl. boats and outboard motors)! Only problem remains with customs.
Make sure that the declared value on the invoice is as low as possible, but in any case less than 100US$

The islands at Nea Stira is nothing special. After you are done with Nea Stira I would suggest you to get a bit further south, about 4 nm south and 1nm east and visit Nimporio and the beach north of Nimporio. It's a nice place to know for your summer outings.
Let me know if you need more info.
When do you plan to do this "test"?
