I am still having issues with

I am still having issues with mine after speaking to the rep and troubleshooting through a few potential issues like updates etc. I can mark spots in my driveway but I cannot mark spots out on the water.

Has anyone else had this same issue as he's now suggesting I flip the green and orange wires and I'm not particularly happy to do this as the product should work as per the instructions.

This is how I had it setup where it works on my driveway but not on the water
 
 
I had a play around with the settings and it also works using it setup like this in the driveway.
 
 
Am I missing something simple in the setup as I am at a loss to figure out why this unit works fine in the driveway but not on the water?

The Furuno manual says:[NMEA

The Furuno manual says:

[NMEA Output]: Select what data sentences to output.
[Off]: Output the "output data sentences".
[On]: Output the "output data sentences" and sentences which are input from other equipment.
 
Based on that would having NMEA Output to [On] mean that the Furuno is trying to send two different marks at once (the paused one on the Furuno and the current one on the Lowrance) and wigging out and not sending anything?
