The Lowrance LCX-37C is a colour chartplotter/sonar unit that uses three proprietary connectors on the device: a 10-pin PWR/DATA port for power and NMEA serial communications, a 5-pin GPS network port for NMEA 2000 networking, and a 7-pin sonar transducer port for 50/200 kHz dual-frequency transducers. The pin assignments below are specific to this unit and only the listed pins are covered.
