Changing your port settings
You can interface the 958 directly to a variety of external
equipment, such as the Northstar 490 “black box” for
fishfinding, autopilots, depth sounders, PC’s, and so on. The
958’s ports meet the specifications of most navigation devices,
providing you with a customized setup for practically any
NMEA 0183-compatible equipment.
The 958 is interfaced with other equipment through its data
transmission ports: two NMEA ports (NMEA) and one auxiliary
port (AUX). To see the wiring information, press the
STAR

to display the

For details about interfacing the 958, contact your local
authorized Northstar dealer.
