 shortfuse ..You need a furuno 6 pin NMEA

Wed, 2016-08-10 19:30

 You need a furuno 6 pin NMEA cable $79 ^^^^ the markfish does not come with the NMEA cable only the wiring to conect to the NMEA cable but if your conecting to a fcv1150 you dont need the cable as they are hard wired all othere units under the 1150 have a NMEA 6 pin socket and cant be hard wired . As above i have a furuno NMEA cable $25 i got this cable after asking what else was required to conect the markfish then found out the 1150 is the olny one that does not have a socket after i couldnt find a nmea socket everthing is hard wired on the 1150

295

jarrid

have a look at your power cable and if it has a yellow and a green wire (sure that's the colours) unused they are the wires this connects to. If you still have the manuals for the unit the wiring diagram will show the nmea0183 wire colours.  

Edit, just looked at wiring diagram for 295 and nmea wires are not part of power cable but from what I can see there are nmea connections behind the cover on the back of the unit. Double check me on this.

Hello Jarrid,

 

Thank you for your enquiry.  You wont need  and other components in your system to make the FCV295 talk to the Markfish.  I can place in your order an FCV295 wiring diagram with notes where to wire in the Markfish.  please make mention to this email when you order on line.

 

everyone is loving to use the mark button finally!

Kind regards,

Michael Fitzallen

 i stand corrected

 

im just going off what the guys at markfish told me when i asked

Hello Bill,
 
Thank you for your enquiry.    Markfish works well with the FCV 1150. your will require a Furuno 6 pin NMEA cable to plug into your FCV 1150.
 
We can supply this cable to you for $79 or purchase this from your local Furuno dealer.
 
Their is a wiring diagram on the installation instruction for the Markfish.   The Markfish wires are the same colour as the lowrance connections as Lowrance is our most popular installation.
 
Please feel free to contact me anytime regarding further information you require.  
 

Hello Bill,


The Fcv1150 has nmea bare wire terminations and no plug.  I had confused the fcv295 and fcv1150.
In your manual there is NMEA 0183 terminals 1,2,3 and 4 for data in and out.  The Markfish would terminate in these with bare wires.  No plugs or cables are required to install the Markfish here..  Further information to clarify this are in the Fcv1150 manual.  I can put a copy of what wires go where in you markfish delivery packaging if you would like?

I have connected to the fcv1150 successfully with the Markfish.
Please feel free to call me anytime for further information.

just finished installing my Mark fish box, tried it out on dry land and it works a treat, simple installation although all the associated wires are thin and fidely.
