Great service! Turned out the part I thought I needed was not correct but Eric walked me through my set up and I now know exactly what I need to get my gauges, motor and Garmin all working in sync. Thanks!

Easy to get all of the components I needed to set up NMEA 2000 on my outboard. The website made it simple to get the bundle I needed for my motor and sonar combination, the price wasn’t any higher than piecing it together from the other online options and the quality is better. It shipped the day I ordered and when I had a question and called, Eric answered the phone and told me exactly what to look for. I couldn’t recommend more highly.

I bought a couple cables from Golden Channels for twin Tohatsu outboards to link up to my Lowrance unit. The cost was very reasonable and the shipping was quick. But moreover, Eric knows what he's doing and when I had trouble with my Lowrance unit recognizing my engines, he was able to provide me with information that I couldn't find anywhere else. I highly recommend using Golden Channels. Also it's amazing to see all my engine data right in front of me at a glance.

Excellent company. Eric took the mystery out of getting my Yamaha engine data to my Garmin 1243xsv. He recommended what I needed, provided guidance on how to install, shipped my order out immediately and provided very timely technical advice. All for a very reasonable price which was far better than some alternatives out there. I highly recommend them.

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.

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

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!
