Read The Fine Manuals that came with the equipment you are trying to
connect. I know that Garmin, at least, clearly indicates the purpose
of the various wires in their equipment cables.

I assume that you need to connect the Data Out (or NMEA-0183 out) wire
from the Garmin to the Data In (or NMEA In) wire on the Horizon. If
the Horizon has two NMEA In wires, the Garmin out goes to the In + or
In A, and the In B or In - is grounded.
