If it were me, it would be a Bluetooth or WiFi wireless interface 
along with all the other instruments.  It's time marine electronics 
joined the 21st Century and dumped serial ports.....dammit.

so why not crack open the 802 brain and install an opto-isolator 
inside?  one could get a twinax connector with a BNC body that 
oughta fit into the same hole that's there and then the NMEA-0183 
link could float like it is supposed to do.
