For example can I replace my damaged Garmin branded t-piece and drop line with a lowrance branded or generic one for the GMI10?

Tees - Electrically - yes. No issues at all and they plug in no worries. Physically - they have a different orientation in regards to the mounting hole. They will plug in but if you then try to screw them to a flat surface to securely mount them, you will torque a connection and break it.Quote:

Can't recall where I saw them but the solid bar 4-way tee's (thank you Scott) look like a good idea instead of joining seperately tee's.
Navico and Maretron both have them. There is also an Actisense one as well as a "hub" similar to the Furuno one that does away with Tees all together.Quote:
