Dave,

Q1. Does the Ray215 unit come with a 4 wire NMEA wiring harnesses that will allow me to connect my existing NMEA wires into?
A1. No. The Ray60's NMEA 0183 leads may simply be spliced to the corresponding NMEA 0183 leads of the Ray215's harness.

Q2. For the power connections, do I need to make a new run from the VHF to the panel or can I convert the existing power connection wires that I have into something that will feed into the Ray60?
A2. It is quite acceptable to simply splice to Ray60's power leads to the corresponding power leads within the Ray215's harness.
