Is signalk to nmea0183 needed? I just set up similar to what you described sending just RMB from opencpn to a udp input to signalk with sentence event - fromcpn, then a tcp client connection in signalk with Output events - fromcpn, the rmb nmea0183 messages showed up in a node red tcp node from signalk fine without needing any signalk - nmea0183 set up.
It's also possible to send RMC from opencpn to the same udp port without creating a loop so should be OK to connect both autopilot nmea in and VHF nmea in to the same usb/serial output if they both use the same baud rate.
