Alan : I mounted a terminal strip behind my electrical panel. That allowed me to easily attach my GPS, VHF and chart plotter NMEA connections to each other. NMEA out from the GPS goes to NMEA in at the VHF and chart plotter. NMEA out from the VHF goes to NMEA in at the GPS. Grounds on all three are connected together. Your Icom should have come with short cables with receptacles to accept the phono plugs. The other end of the cables are bare, and can be wired directly to your other NMEA connections without cutting off the RCA phono plugs. I'll be at the boat this week, and can send you a picture of the wiring diagram with wire colors, and can let you know which plug on the Icom is NMEA out and which one is NMEA in. Let me know whether you need that information.
