I have searched the forums and not found an answer to my question so I will pose it here:
I bought a 2002 Contender with a B-164 installed and connected to a Garmin 4212. I want to run the transducer to my Furuno 585 that I have already installed and run it totally separate from the rest of the Garmin system. The wire is already cut on the B-164 and I have the Furuno 10 pin connector for the 585. The question is in reconnecting the internal wires from the cord on the B-164 to the Furuno 10 pin pig tail. All the colors match up and there are 2 bare wires which I assume are grounds. I tried simply matching up all the colors and that did not work. When you turn on the display it "bounces" all over the place to various depths and the temp "bounces" around as well (it read 58 degrees one second and then 70 degrees and so on). The connections all seem good and were done with shrink wrap connectors very securely. What am I doing wrong? I pulled the wiring diagram from Airmar and it was of little help. I sure dont want to have to remove the B-164 unless I am sure it is FUBAR which I doubt. Any help would be mucho appreciated???
