Hello All, Helping a friend add a Simrad RS-35 VHF radio with AIS receiver to his existing B&G instrument system. That currently has 2 Triton displays, a Zeus Touch 7 MFD plus wind and speed/depth transducers. Everything is connected via NMEA 2000, there is no 0183 on the boat. There was no convenient place to tap into an existing T connector, but there was an existing network line running close to the radio. We bought 2 Maretron micro-c field installable connectors, a premade Maretron cable and a Lowrance T connector. I could not find Lowrance/B&G connectors anywhere. I cut the network wire and wired the new connectors according to the color code on the connectors. The color code on the connectors matched the colors in the B&G wire, so I figured I was good to go. When I hook things back up, the existing instruments work fine, but the new radio is not seen by the Zeus, nor does the radio see the network. Since the existing stuff all works fine, I am assuming that the wires are connected in the same positions on the connectors. When I unplug it, I lose all the transducers.
I am currently thinking that either the new premade cable is bad, or Simrad B&G uses a different pinout for their connectors than the one specified by NMEA, which Maretron follows. I plan to test the cable using one from my boat, but can anyone confirm the pinout on a B&G system for me? Any other ideas about what to check?
