Display Console Gps On Non Gps Bow Mount (Lowrance)

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?
