Hi Guys,

I have a Furuno 6100 and a Magellan 315. I have the cable required got the
two units, but am not sure how to link the two. Any ideas from anyone?

Thanks
Alan

My Garmin uses a cable with a DB9 connector to connect to my PC. I added a
DB9 connector to the bare end of the Furuno cable. I connect the two DB9s so
the Garmin talks to the Furuno instead of my PC.
The only problem I've had is with corrosion of the DB9 I added to the Furuno
cable. I will replace it, and fill it up with even more silicone seal before
I screw the two halves together, and use even more dielectric grease on the
connecor pins.

No problem with that but the Furuno has TD-A, TD-B, RX-A, RX-B, do I just
use 1 set ie. A or B?

Furuno --- Magellan
TD-A ----- RX
Ground ----- Ground
RX-A ----- TX
RX-B ----- Ground

TD-B is left unconnected.
