I have the same problem. Looking for a solution..

I have a second GPS, Garmin Model 60 in my boat and I want to connect it to my VHF radio Ray54E. I purchased the Garmin's power and data cable. This cable connected to the GPS. There are four open cable ends at the end of the multi wired cable:

Red + power 12V
Black - power 12V
Brown serial data out
White serial data in

Ray54E has two open cable ends to connect the VHF to the GPS

Yellow GPS+ NMEA OUT +
Green GPS – NMEA OUT -

I have power for the GPS from red and black ends connected to the + and – terminals respectively. I couldn't figure out where to connect data in and data out cables. VHF has no NMEA out.

Has anyone experienced to make such a kind of that GPS & VHF connection.?

Both devices has the same NMEA protocol 0183 , but versions differ : GPS 3. 01 , VHF 1.5 version. Is this a problem for devices to comunicate each other?
