I have a depth transducer in my Airmar B744VL package that I would like to feed into my Furuno 1740C/NT. The B744VL also has speed/temp, but I am not interested in porting those to the Furuno display.
The Furuno DATA 3 cable leads to a NMEA 0183 expander with the blue and white wires leading to the expander IN ports. The yellow and green appear from the wiring diagram ready to accept echo sounder data input, but are not wired to anything currently. The Furuno NETWORK cable leads to an ethernet hub. My sounder has three leads: blue (depth +), black (depth -), and bare (depth shield), but it is not clear to me whether the data are NMEA 0183 encoded.
How would I connect these two units to display depth on my 1724C?
Thanks.
