NMEA/SeaTalk Wiring?
 

I want to connect a Raynav 300GPS Plotter with some NMEA equipment...

The Manual for the Plotter says:

"Use a suitable junction box to connect to NMEA equipment"
and
"The NMEA inputs/outputs should be connected to the POWER/NMEA connector at
the rear of the Plotter."

The connector pin functions are deatailed as follows:

Function Color
NMEA data input (+ve) White
NMEA Input (-ve) - common Green
NMEA data out Yellow
NMEA Data Outpout common Brown

There is a connector box in the wiring going to the GPS Plotter. It has a
cable with Red/Black wire pair coming from the 12 volt power supply.

But - here comes the part that totally confuses me - there is another cable
coming in to the connector box which I assume is the (SeaTalk) link to the
Ray Marine equipment onboard
That cable also has a red/black wire pair; The Red is connected to a Yellow
wire and the Black is connected to a Grey wire and this pair is going to the
back of the Raynav 300 GPS.

So where are the White/Green and Brown NMEAwires located???

Do I have to open the Raynav GPS to find these NMEA connectors??? (That
sounds totally wrong to me).

I should add that all the electronics were provisioned in the U.K. by the
boat's previous owner - and I am slowly correcting wiring mistakes made
there (incorrectly sized wires etc.) so perhaps the above wiring is
according to RayMarine specs?

Any comments/help will be appreciated. BTW tried to send an email to
Raymarine technical support - but the webpage was not working correctly - so
that avenue was closed.

Thanks in advance.

Ah, Skype is wonderful. Called Claus on Skype (www.skype.com) and he has
the power cable that has no data cable wires in it.

He's calling Raymarine for the replacement cable fleecing$$$$ on Monday...

Wouldn't it be fun to have a big Skype conference call once in a while so
we can hear what we all sound like....??
