Anybody have any luck connecting a Lowrance iFinder H20 C to MacENC? I "think" I have the serial adapter working, but I'm not getting any NMEA data. I'm unsure of the various setting.

Reading the manual here..
http://www.lowrance.com/Manuals/Files/iF...101805.pdf
pages(PDF Pages) 14(22), 67(75) show how to configure NMEA. You want the GPS to send NMEA out at 4800.
You would plug the NMEA serial connector to the Keyspan High speed serial adapter cable. Launch MacENC. Select "Connect" on the "GPS" menu, Select "Settings..." button, Select type as "Other", Port as "/dev/cu.KeySerial1" and rate as "4800". If you do not see a port listed as "/dev/cu.KeySerial1" then that means you have not installed the OS X driver for the Keyspan adapter.
Visit
