Yes, I have the same setup and the same problem. I found that the Furuno GP-32 requires a "control-E" sentence ($PFEC,GPxfr,CTL,E*59) at the end of the waypoints to properly terminate the transfer.
Instead of using MacENC, I store the waypoints as a file on my Mac and use the MiniPlex Configuration Tool application to load the waypoints. (See the procedure below.)
Loading Waypoints to Furuno GP-32 using MiniPlex-42USB
07/06/04
1. Set the GP-32 into "Load Wpt/Rte from PC" mode.
2. Use MiniPlex application with the following settings:
Port: /dev/cu.usbserial-!
Rate: 4800
Mode: Server
3. Click "Send File..."
4. Select data file containing waypoints and routes
5. Note: the transmission takes several minutes during which the Data LED on the MiniPlex flashes intermittently.
P.S. You can also check your setup using an article on FF4's blog Navigation Mac:
