Thanks, I agree. None of the 0183 wires are connected to anything, so there is no way it is getting a signal on that protocol. I chalked it up to a default setting of some sort, but it may also indicate a problem with the radio.

Nothing should show as a 183 source. Either a bad connection or a bad radio. The manual is not any help on external connections. Good luck Joel On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 3:36 PM, Jim Reinardy via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Joel, Thanks for the reply. With the NMEA 2000 cable connected, I only have the NMEA 0183 source available on that menu. That is how I drew the conclusion that the radio does not see the 2000 network.

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?
