It is a direct NMEA0183 connection between the two. TLL out from the 588, TLL into the 1971.
The first response I received from a Furuno was
The second reply when I informed them that it wasn’t working was...
I don’t think they fully understood that it wasn’t functioning properly after the first email. This back and forth slow email deal is kinda crummy for support.
As you can see, the wire colors are flip flopped between the two responses... so I do not know which is correct.

BFrench7,
Couple of thoughts. You can always call our tech support line when your on the vessel. We operate Monday-Friday 0800-1700 EST and 0800-1700 PST.
The information you received is both correct. This is going to take a 4 wire connection because the FCV588 needs to have L/L information before it can send out a TLL to the chart plotter.

You will need to program the GP1971F to send position data to the FCV628: Follow the steps in the previous post. Or you can refer to the manual section 4.1-4.5.
You will also need to turn on the output of the FCV628 to Furuno TLL. Please follow the steps in the previous post. Or you can refer to the manual section 4.9
Make sure the baud rate on both machines match: IE: 4800
