CobraMarine Chartplotter MC 600C Series
Your CobraMarine VHF radio is set up to connect directly to your chartplotter
with a custom accessory cable that eases the installation.
The chartplotter uses a state-of-the-art electronic chart system, designed as a
custom navigation aid. All calculations and information necessary for the
navigation are performed and displayed on the chartplotter quickly and
accurately providing all of the capabilities of a conventional GPS, but with the
added benefit of a powerful electronic chart display.
Wiring the chartplotter to the transceiver is made easy with a custom-made
optional Accessory Cable harness P/N CM 140-001. This cable has a molded
8-pin connector that plugs directly into the appropriate connectors on the MR
F80 and the MC 600C Series.
To Install the Chartplotter:
1. Install the chartplotter in a convenient location according to the
chartplotter owner’s manual.
2. Connect NMEA out positive (+) wire to NMEA in positive (+) wire coming
from the chartplotter.
3. Connect NMEA out negative (-) wire to NMEA in negative (-) wire coming
from the chartplotter.
4. Plug 8-pin rubber connector into transceiver.
