You do not need to create any USB serial connection in opencpn. Opencpn should have just a network connection: localhost 10110 TCP (the SK connection).
Then you should connect both serial NMEA 0183 devices to signal k in serial app - connections tab. Data from both devices will de available in TCP localhost 10110 multiplexed.

Thanks,
So I have set 10110 in Cpn to output as well as input.
Used the serial app & clicked on Add to SigK, set 9,600B. However looking at the Connections in SigK it looks as if that's just for inputs, I want to send 0183 data out from SigK assuming it gets it directly from Cpn via 10110 without any other settings.
The Convert SigK to NMEA0183 is active
I am sure I am missing something here? I haven't found any documentation to help with this, is there any around?

You did not mentioned you want a serial output. Until the kplex app is published you can do this from opencpn. Create in opencpn a serial output and type the alias (opencpn will not found aliases).
If you are connecting NMEA 0183 data to signal k you do not need to convert signal k data into NMEA 0183. Disable Signal k to NMEA 0183 plugin.
Do not send data back to TCP localhost 10110! you are creating a data loop. Disable output in opencpn for localhost 10110 TCP.
Not docs yet, working on it.

Yes I typed it exactly as it was shown in your Serial app.
Maybe I should delete the existing device in the serial app first, i didn't do that.
EDIT:
No I Didn't, i missed the /dev/
Now it works & no error.
Thanks again
