If you need anything NMEA related this is where you should buy it. Eric was awesome. Helped me through the purchase and install. I wouldn't hesitate to use them for anything NMEA related I need in the future.

I had an awesome experience with Golden Channels! I needed a NMEA adapter for my Yamaha gauge, and they had exactly what I was looking for. The quality of the product is top-notch, and everything worked perfectly once installed. Huge shout out to Eric for his outstanding customer service! I had a bunch of questions about wiring it in, and he was incredibly responsive and helpful—his emails came back fast and with clear, detailed info that made the whole process smooth. It’s rare to find support like that these days. Highly recommend Golden Channels for both their products and their support. Thanks again, Eric!

Absolutely the best products and outstanding support. Questions are answered promptly and thoroughly. Eric will walk you through any installation or problem, and happily answer any questions no matter how simple or how long it takes. There are very few businesses that stand behind their products so completely, and offer this level of quality and customer support.

The website design and attention to detail on parts available for online purchase paints a clear picture of what your buying. Not only that, Eric is more than accommodating when it comes to install/purchase support

Recently had to do a return because my 2024 Tohatsu MFS30DS is not compatible with NMEA2000 due to it being a pull start and non big tiller. Eric was SUPER helpful the whole process and tried many times to help me figure it out until finally Tohatsu confirmed this model non compatible. I felt it necessary to still give 5 stars, I’d give 6 if possible. Customer service was top notch. I will definite business here again.

Took a while to write this review. Was looking for a way to integrate my Suzuki SMG4 gauge with my Simrad G07. I thought it would be something complicated. Then I found Golden Channels. They had the correct connection cables I needed and very affordable. I reached out to Eric because I thought that was too easy. Eric responded promptly. Well, turns out it was. So I hooked everything and it started working immediately. Additionally I purchased the Suzuki fluid level interface. Was very easy to add to the network. Now I get my fuel info on my Simrad. I'm a nerd for info. Very pleased, cant recommend Golden Channels enough. Thank you Eric

Thank you Eric for sending me exactly what I needed for my 30hp Tohatsu. The install was a breeze, and I couldn’t be any happier with how it turned out. If you want the best customer service for NMEA cables, look no further.

Eric was super helpful and getting me up and running with a weird Tohatsu and Simrad NMEA 2000 installation. He responds very quickly and his cables worked exactly as described. I'm super excited about our new NMEA system!

What do I have? What do I want? What do I want to buy? Why do I want to buy it? What do I need to buy? How to install it? What I did wrong? What to do to correct it? Whatever the question might have been, Eric had the answer! Eric helped me to choose. Eric helped me to install what he sent me. Eric helped me solve any problems in the installation process. Thank you again!!!

Eric was awesome! I emailed golden channels on a Sunday afternoon and Eric immediately emailed me back. The entire process was super simple with him pointing me in the direction to find a Garmin electronic in my budget that would work with his cables and my engine. Spoke with him about the cable kit and options i would need and it came with everything I needed to complete the job. Awesome product and the best customer service you will ever get with a NMEA2000 network! Give Eric a shout and get your engine data on your chart Plotter! Must have for a tiller model engine!

I recently purchased a Scout Abaco 242 with a Yamaha F250 XTR and the previous owner installed a Simrad Go9 xse chart plotter; nice unit but the installation partially blocked the tachometer so I had to constantly peek around the chart plotter to see the rpm when under way. I researched Google to see if I could get the engine data to the chart plotter so I could have RPM and other parameters right in front of me. I saw many sites that recommended an expensive Yamaha gateway and NMEA 2000 backbone. Thankfully I found Golden Channels and they had an affordable two cable solution that I was able to install in around 20 minutes. The Engine dashboard on the Simrad looks great! After the purchase Eric and Golden Channel sent me an email with installation instructions and links to videos. I highly recommend Golden Channels for your digital wiring needs.
