1 Pub. 988-0152-081 Addendum I Additional Instructions for Eagle Cuda 240i S/GPS Your sonar/GPS unit, the Cuda 240i, functions exactly like the Cuda 240 described in the manual provided (part 988-0152-012). In addition, the Cuda 240i contains a communicat ions port for NMEA 0183 output.
2 A few other radio brands (and other electronic devices) th at meet the NMEA 0183 standard won't need these adapters and you will have to remove the resistor and diode to make those work.
3 Twist the exposed wires together as shown in the following figures. If you're using a Uniden or similar radio, connect the radio's NMEA Wire to the Cuda 240i data cable's yellow wire, and the radio's Ground/Shield wire to the Cuda 240i data cable's black shield wire.
4 After taping the wire ends individually, wrap the entire connection with electrical tape as shown. This will help protect from moisture and prevent the wires from breaking contact.
5 After you've removed the adapter segment, use wire pliers to expose the ends of the five remaining wires in the cable. Cut off the black, blue and white wires, then seal their ends with electrical tape. After removing the adapter segment, prepare to connect by removing and taping off unneeded wires.
