Picture of boat for attention ....SM_IMG_3244.jpg

I bought a SCX-20 Satellite compass on Facebook Marketplace and received some additional Furuno items.

New items yet to be installed

TXT 10xl MFD
FM4800 VHF Radio
FCV-60 Fish Finder

Furuno items I received with the SCX-20 Satellite Compass
FA-30 AIS Receiver (do I need this as the FM4800 also has AIS Features)
DFF1 - Network Sounder (Do I need this or can I just put the MFD and the FCV-60 on the same NMEA2000 backbone)
PG-700 Heading Sensor
BBWX2 Weather Siris has a 4 port ethernet port built in

What's my best configuration? Boat is a Bertram 31 that has limited extra space - so I am all about efficiency
 
There isn't such a thing as the FCV-60. Maybe you are thinking about the FCV-600?
No you really wouldn't need the FA30 if you are going to use the AIS in the FM4800.
While technically the BBWX2 weather box isn't compatible with the NavNet TZTXL, it might work but would need to ensure that it doesn't end up causing you any issues.

The SCX20 would really make the PG-700 unnecessary but if you keep them both on the 2000 bus, make sure they are properly instanced.
Being the TZT10x has a built in sounder and you also have the (FCV600L), it is unlikely that you will want to keep the DFF1.
A NMEA 2000 backbone will need to be built but it sounds like a pretty good system.
