Connect 740s to Horizon Gx 1600

Can you please tell me what colors to connect between my 740s and my Standard Horizon gx 1600? The Gx 1600 manual provides names of the wires for the 740s that don't match what the 740s uses as names. Thanks very much for the help.

Concting horizon gx1600 to gps-wire colors diff than manual

My GX1600 wire colors don't match what is given anywhere in the manual or on your site - we have Blue, Green, yellow and red wires coming from our standard horizons GX1600 radio??? not blue, green, gray brown.
Can someone tell us where to plug these in to get GPS?

We've tried connecting to raymarine GPS NEMA 1983 as well as vesper marine AIS 8000 and can get NO GPS into our radio. At this point, I don't care what gets GPS into this radio, we just would like to see it happen, but I don't understand why we can't find info that matches the wire colors we have to work with?
