Marine electronic manufacturers are beginning to better conform to the NMEA standard. Many of the newer boat electronic devics use more standard NMEA-0183 conventions, including wire color and balanced signals, but for some odd reason still do not use the NMEA names for the their signals.

Yep. You are right again.

For future-proofness, buy N2K equipment!
