Thread: Furuno Radar to Lowrance HDS

    Furuno Radar to Lowrance HDS

    I have a Furuno 1715 and want to link it to Lowrance HDS12,
    I have power lead to sounder which has NMEA 0183 cable
    Radar says it works with NMEA 2000 or NMEA 0183
    I have no cable for radar but it is a 7 pin NMEA socket in unit.

    What are my options?
    I cannot find a straight 7 pin Furuno cable in OZ I can just connect to Lowrance NMEA 0183 cable - a 2m cable from US is about $100 to here
    I have no idea if it is possible to get straight connection from one unit to other or am I supposed to get a NMEA 2000 kit and they supply plugs to suit and I used the NMEA port in HDS to radar?

    Any useful help appreciated
    Cheers

    Trev, check a few of their other 7 pin connections - power cable to suit a GP32 as an example. Simply need to confirm via their connection diagrams that the relevant pins are used (they will be different colour wiress though) and that the keyways on the plug will allow it to plug in. The relevant wires from the Furuno cable will then need to be joined to the correct wires in the HDS power lead
