Your welcome ... now you can stop reading ausfish and focus on fishraider ... hahaha !

Look forward to some reports.

Cheers Zoran

I can report Zoran that your advice worked a treat. I connected all -ve wires (data/ power) back to the common battery -ive and the data transmits beautifully to whatever is listening.

I also felt brave and connected the GPS data out to my ICOM IC-m411 radio at the same time. 

Well it did once I went into the settings of the Garmin 72h and changed the default data output mode from Garmin (default) to NMEA  it all just worked. GOS coords on radio now and on sounder 🙂

 

thanks again.

thankyou Zoran, amazingly helpful...  the connection of the furuno green and blue back to the battery -ve as well is the bit that I had missed completely

I will test it all out on the weekend

thankyou Zoran, this makes sense to me 

 

This is the post (which could be totally wrong) that has confused me with advice to connect the garmin black -ve to the Furuno 620 green (rd-b receive mate for the rd-a data in) and no mention of connecting the black wires between Garmin 720 and Furuno 620.

Hi, 

hopefully one of the guru's here knows the answer re NMEA 183 connections with 2 devices.

I have the Garmin Data cable connecting my Garmin 72H GPS to power using black and red wires.

I now want to connect the Garmin Data Out (Brown) to the my Furuno 620 Plotter ReceiveA (yellow) to xfer location and waypoints. I also need to connect the Garmin black wire to the ReceiveB Furuno wire (green). 

I "assume" this means I need to split the garmin black to connect to both the battery -ve and the Furuno plotter green.

Its probably a basic electronics issue however I thought I would ask.

 

Much appreciated

Steve
