I came across a icom 2200h and what do I have to do with it so I can run marine channels on it?

Is this something I can do? Do they just plug into the board?

I took mine to the local tv repair shop with a copy of this page describing the modification. Cost me 20 bucks. I certainly didnt wanna pull my new radio apart and poke around in there.
