Your question was this Wiring diagram to install the Chart Plotter Northstar 660.
So that's what I answered. Now it's a 6000i?
Are you sure you have the proper information down now. Cause I will answer any question if it is not a waste of my time. I will go review your second question now.
I'm looking at the schematic. Please allow me a few minutes to get it all typed out right.
Here is a diagram of the interface ports on the back of your unit. You can see clearly what is what.
The 18 pin cable is the NMEA port on the lower left of the diagram above is where that cable will plug into.
NMEA Port 1 input/output are for autopilot, heading sensor, etc.
The bottom middle one is for your Ethernet. this will have what they call an RJ-45 tip on the end of it. The tip will look similar to a telephone cord but in this case it is a data cord.
Second from the left on the top row is where your antenna will go.
Second from the left on the bottom is an Auxiliary with a 6 pin connector. This is for your data base transfer.
In the upper right is power. Rated @ 10 to 36 VDC and 30 watts. 3 pin connector.
On the lower right is the Video Output (VGA) if you want to have a remote display somewhere. This will have a 15 pin. DIN connector.
On the upper left is your NTSC video input. Utilizes a 75Ohm (standard cable) coax. You can run any NTSC compatible radio source into it. video.
I am sending this to you now. I am further typing instructions. This is a complicated unit so Ii takes a bit of time.
For the power you will need 16 gauge wire up to 15 feet in length. If you need to go 15 feet to 25 feet then go up to a 14 gauge wire. This is an important step. Make sure to connect directly to the positive terminal battery to avoid noise interference as well. This will hook up to your red wire on your cable.
Black needs to go to the negative terminal of your battery.
The green wire needs to go directly to your ships ground. If you are using floating grounds of non Earth grounds then the green wire should not be used. Just cap it off if this is the case.
I just want to make a personal note here. There is only a fuse on the power wire but shorts can happen on the neg and pos side. I recommend an inline fuse on all three of these wires.
Here is a pin out of the 18 DIN pin connector you have. Below that I will list what the wires are for.
Description - Wire Color - Pin #
NMEA port 1 input A - brown - 3
NMEA port 1 input B - blue - 1
NMEA port 1 input ground - white with blue stripe - 4
NMEA port 1 output A - violet - 12
NMEA port 1 output B - gray - 7
NMEA port 1 output ground - blue with white stripe - 8
NMEA port 2 input A - white with brown stripe - 6
NMEA port 2 input B - brown with white stripe - 2
NMEA port 2 input ground - white - 5
NMEA port 2 output A - yellow -15
NMEA port 2 output B - orange - 11
NMEA port 2 output ground - black -10
RS-232 ground - tan -17
RS-232 RX - green -16
RS-232 TX - red -18
External ground/foil drain - white with orange shield - 9
Reserved - orange with white stripe -13
Honk out/200 PPNM [pulses per nautical mile]/remote power - pink -14
I think this answers your questions. If so please accept this solution.
If you have any further comments or questions please ask.

the Chartplotter is a model 6000i with of Radar,video,sounder. I plan only to install the chartploter and connect to NMA a signal from the the sounder that is actually in the boat. The cables provided with the unit are:
1- Power cable grey with 3 cables Red- green- Black and inline fuses.
2 Cable black with 18 Pins and color code cables and one shield.
3-In the back of the unit are diferent ports one for power 3 pins and 3 more with multiple Pins.
?Which cable should be conected for the sounder transducer in the back of the unit and ?what is the wire dagram of the 18 Pin color cables?
The Chartplotter is model 6000i with Radar, video, sounder. I plan only to use and connect the chart plotter and connect to NMA a signal from the sounder and transducer that is actually install in the boat.
The cables provided with the chartplotter are;
1-Power Cable grey with 3 cables re-Black and green. and in line fuses.
2-Black cable with 18 Pins and color code cables at the end and one shield cable.
In the back pof the unit are diferent ports one for power (3Pins) and 3 more with multiple pins.
Which cable should be connected for the sounder transducer in the back of the unit and what is the wire diagram of the 18 Pin color cables. Thaks for your reply
Tony sorry for my mistake in identify the model I need to know the wire code diagram in order to connect the NMA sounder signal from other unit install in the boat and identify the port to use to made the connection in the back of the unit. The unit came with 2 cables one Power with 3 Pins Red Black and green and another cable with 19 Pins in one side and 19 color cables in the other. Thaks for your help. Francisco.
