It runs on 9 to 16 V DC with a nominal 12 V supply, and the converter body is rated IPX6 for wet marine use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit fits boats that already have SeaTalkNG electronics in place but still rely on a VHF with isolated NMEA 0183 wiring. It lets the radio receive position data needed for DSC calling and distress functions without replacing the radio or reworking the whole network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeeds GPS and GNSS position data from SeaTalkNG to an older DSC VHF over NMEA 0183\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt for isolated NMEA 0183 VHF connections on existing marine systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperates on 9 to 16 V DC with a nominal 12 V supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIPX6-rated converter body for helm, console, and electronics locker installations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnection layout includes two SeaTalkNG backbone ports, two SeaTalkNG spur ports, and one NMEA 0183 spur connection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupplied as a complete installation kit with power lead, spur cable, adapter cable, blanking plugs, and backbone terminators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis kit is intended for older DSC VHF radios that need a two-wire NMEA 0183 position feed from the network side. It works well when the chartplotter, GPS source, or other instruments are already sharing data on SeaTalkNG, but the radio has not been updated to SeaTalkNG or NMEA 2000.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a practical match for refits on cruising boats, center consoles, and pilot house boats where the existing VHF is still in service and only needs reliable position data from the current network.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stripped-end adapter cable connects to the radio's NMEA 0183 input pair, while the supplied power lead and spur cable handle the SeaTalkNG side. Older DSC radios commonly expect position data at 4800 baud, so the radio's NMEA 0183 input settings should be checked during setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe converter measures 109.45 mm wide, 30.2 mm high, and 21.45 mm deep, which helps when planning space behind a helm panel or inside an electronics locker. The included backbone terminators and blanking plugs also help close out a small SeaTalkNG run correctly when this kit is used as a dedicated branch for the radio.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConverter module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaTalkNG power cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaTalkNG spur cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeaTalkNG to NMEA 0183 stripped-end adapter cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo backbone terminators\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo blanking plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Raymarine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52023831363765,"sku":"QBP311564","price":134.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1330635_qbp311564.webp?v=1780192030","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp311564","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
