Does the Furuno FM4800 VHF radio need wiring to the IF-NMEAFI to hook in the NMEA2000 network?
Furuno FM4800 VHF radio to NMEA2000 backbone

The IF-NMEAFI is an analog interface typically used for the wind sensor or as a tank sensor converter. It wouldn't be used with a radio at all.
The FM4800 offers 2000 or 0183 so you shouldn't need any interface of any type.

Hello, I have a project I'm working where we are planning on using the FM4800 as the vessel's VHF radio and AIS receiver (no need to transmit own ship AIS). Can I utilize the NMEA 2000 bus and NMEA 0183 port simultaneously to provide AIS to a few end users of the target data? Manual is not clear and seems to imply 2k and 0183 are an either or option.
