Raymarine E7 and 0183 ais input issues

[paris]

Hi, im trying to connect up my ais to my raymarine e7 using 0183, i keep getting an issue when powering on the the plotter freezes unless the ais is disconnected, if i connect the 0183 after the plotter is switched on i can see the target but loose the chart? totally baffled atm, any ideas?

@paris, first double check that the e7 is set to receive data at the higher 38,400 baud on the NMEA input that the AIS is connected to.

If that doesn't work, assuming you are connecting both in IN (RX) and OUT (TX) from the AIS to the e7, can you try connecting only the OUT (TX) of the AIS to the IN (RX) on the e7 display? It's possible the GPS data from the AIS unit and MFD is clashing and causing data issues.
