I found the gt74 gps to be lacking in performance in my Z3815. Sorry, no data 
sheet for it.

I simply cut the 1pps output cable, and spliced a ublox receiver 1pps output 
into it. Then I split the antenna feed to both gps and found 3.3V somewhere for 
the ublox gps.

Works like a charm, z3815 firmware is happy talking to the Furuno, but timing 
and sensitivity is much better now from the ublox.. Even with a navigation 
receiver. Sorry, don't remember what pins where 1pps or power, but that's easy 
to find with a multimeter.

Btw: the Z3815 output is very noisy for some reason. Hp did not do a good job 
on utilizing the E1938 performance here...
