Baja27,
if you like Raymarine you should check out the new axiom or axiom pro series. It uses the new lighthouse 3 format.
GS series will be getting upgrade the end of this year. The axiom series is really nice.

I have a Garmin 741, I know they make a 1041 that has a 9+" screen. Touch screen is cool except for when you are in rough water. I also have the Merc gateway which sends my engine data to the GPS via NMEA 2K.

Who is telling you that? That is not true. We have hooked up Raymarine with Fusion radios with no issues. There are a couple of options depending on how old your unit is.
send me a pm and I can reach out to you tomorrow.

I have a new Garmin and it has been awesome. Probably all made in the same sweatshop no matter what brand though lol.
