Display Console Gps On Non Gps Bow Mount (Lowrance)

[TorqueConverter]

Here's my situation: I have an HDS 8 Gen1 console mounted and an HDS 5x model# 140-27 (no GPS) mounted up front.  I would like to know if it is possible to display the GPS/chart of the HDS 8 onto the screen on the HDS 5x.  Its been really annoying fishing offshore in 30mph winds trying to stay on a high percentage spot when I have to get up and stare at the HDS 8 at the console to figure out where I'm at.

 

I'm tempted to throw a Lowrance ethernet cable at the two, but I don't want to waste 50 bucks on a hunch.  Has anyone gone down this road?

No, it is not possible to share GPS to the 5X.  The Ethernet cable would share 2D sonar ducers among the two units.

Thanks for the answer.
