Hi,
I need to get the NMEA 0183 from the e-series e7 display to my Sailor VHF.
Can I just connect the two wires (Yellow and Brown, NMEA OUT port 2) from the combined NMEA/Power leads to my VHF?
Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Peter,

While you have correctly identified the leads, you have identified the incorrect NMEA 0183 Port. In a nutshell, the MFD's NMEA 0183 Port 1 OUT+ lead (yellow) will need be interfaced to the DSC VHF radio's NMEA 0183 IN+ lead/terminal. Additionally, the MFD's NMEA 0183 Port 1 OUT- lead (brown) will need be interfaced to the DSC VHF radio's NMEA 0183 IN- lead/terminal. Finally, the MFD's NMEA 0183 Port 1 setting will need to be configured to "NMEA 4800".
Thanks for your help Chuck.
You're welcome.
