setting up nmea conection

[Top banana]

As the grey matter steps in i thought id run my set up past the ribnet tekies.

Northstar 725e vhf
Green nmea in- from gps
oOrange nmea out+ to gps
yellow nmeain+ from gps
black nmea out- ground

garmin 450.
blue nmea 1 out
brown nmea 1 in
grey nmea2 out
violet nmea 2 in

I want to show gps position on the vhf for dsc operation, and i want the plotter to recieve gps position data from other calling vessells.

am i right in my thinking?

orange out from vhf to brown in on plotter

yellow in to vhf to blue out from gps

green in -vhf to black gps- to ground.

Help

does the black (NMEA out -ve) on the VHF not need connecting to something (presumbaly the black on the GPS) also?

there's something in the back of my mind about the screen wire needs connecting too something

there is a bare wire allso, but the manual makes no mention of it.
