Connecting GP 32 to Lowrance NMEA backbone

[auskraken]

Hi guys,

I recently bought a boat that has a Raymarine plotter/ sounder that does not have an NMEA network connection. I want to wire up my old Furuno GP32 to the Lowrance NMEA backbone so that i have a gps feed but i can’t work out which colour wires from the GP 32 go to the NMEA high and low wires on the NMEA backbone.

I’d appreciate any help you can give me and what settings i need to use. Every connection i’ve tried so far has not worked and has dropped my NMEA fuel flow sensors from the network.

Thanks in advance.

The GP32 has NMEA0183 output. A NMEA backbone indicates that this is NMEA2000. You would need a converter like our IF-NMEA2k2 in order to convert 0183 to N2K.
