Furuno 33 GPS Pinouts

[Travelmate]

Have trusted Furuno equipment for a number of years, but the latest purchase has tested that. Friend just bought the GPS 33. Looks great but did not come with a NMEA0183 connector cable.
Furuno assumes that it will only use NMEA2000. The problem being we are in Borneo and they are ready to leave and need to connect it to the NMEA0183 computer 232 port.

Need a diagram or list of the pinouts for the NMEA0183 cable. It has 12 pins with a master spline.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Page S1 of the GPS 33 User Manual suggests that for RS232 connection, Pin 2 (Blue) is GND, Pin 3 (Yellow) is RXD, Pin 4 (Green) is TXD.

i thought 232 was a 9 pin affair,not sure if baude rate is the same,others will know

may be this will help, although referring to Garmin,the computer end is the same with anything

The above pinouts refer to the 10 pin signal/power connector on the GPS 33.

Pin 2 GND, Pin 3 RXD, Pin 4 TXD are connected to pins 5, 2 and 3 respectively of the 9 pin D type.

Pin outs

Thank you for the input.
Was actually looking for the connector pin layout to determine pin 2,3, and 4 on the back of the Furuno

Think it is a J104 10 pin plug but can't find any data on it
