Raymarine c125 compatability with nmea 0183

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Joe,

Raymarine's a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs feature support for NMEA 0183 v4.0. As indicated by NMEA, it is in theory backward compatible to versions of the protocol back to NMEA 0183 2.00. We typically don't recommend interfacing the a/c/e/eS/gS-Series MFDs with products supporting NMEA 0183 versions earlier than v2.1 (such as the products which you have identified). Some third party marine electronics product/accessory manufactureres(ex. Brookhouse, etc.) offer a multiplexer supporting conversion of NMEA 0183 v1.5 to v2.1 and/or SeaTalk. If converted to SeaTalk, then a SeaTalk to SeaTalkng Converter may then be used to bridge the SeaTalk data to SeaTalkng / NMEA 2000 for use by Raymarine's currently manufactured products.
