Does anyone know the spec for the antena connection on the back of the furuno gp 31

I've got the same kit with the handbook on the boat, so could check tomorrow.

If you are down to FL soon, let me know - you can take a look.

The connection is either TNC threaded or BNC baynet.

Not that the connector can be dismantled without a soldering iron for running the cable so only need to drill cable sized holes.

See page 9-1

Thanks for that
The end has come off so needs replacing particularly the solder bit!!
I was hoping to find one at a reasonable cost from a commercial not marine supplier.

It should be easy to resolder the brass pin back on. Hardest part is recutting the end of the coax correctly so everything is in the right position when assembled.

Maplins do them. Just take the old one in. Get one with a similar nut and gland if possible.
