NMEA0183 Data over USB Serial connection is sometimes garbled on Venus OD

Trying to set up an old nmea0183 AIS with my signalk server running on Venus OS on a raspberry pi. I am using the correct baud rate, referencing the device by using the persistent name (/dev/by-id/...). When I cat the same device I get some real sentences (and signalk does too, which it converts sometimes) but also some garbage. When I hooked my AIS to my pc and ran signalk-server in docker it worked great with absolutely no garbage. The settings in signalk were the same.

I think I may have boiled it down to Venus is pinging my serial connection on something like /dev/ttyUSB4, while I am listening to the device on a different symlink. Does anyone have adive or how to fix it, or if I'm barking up the wrong tree?
