I have a lowrance 111XC that I have hooked up to my etec outboard via the Lowrance-net NMEA2000 interface. It is connected on one of 3 Ts I have in my system. One goes to the head unit, 1 to my GPS, and the third to the Etec. I have 120ohm terminations on each side. The GPS is working fine. I have updated the software in the head unit, and also the etec. I am not running i-command gauges (just a standard tach).

With all that said, I still can not see the motor on the bus set up screen.

Is there something I am missing here?

I assume the buss is correct since the GPS works. I would think that it would see the motor and add it to the list, but I have to be doing something wrong.

Not sure I will be able to answer this question. What year and model is your Etec?

2006 225hp

Ok. I will do my best to help figure it out.

I'm going out to celebrate my girls Bday...

I'll get back to you...

Maybe check the output of the GPS? I know Garmin defaults to a special Garmin language, you have to tell it to output NEMA0183, which I thought was ind standard, I haven't heard of NEMA 2000, but I am by no means an electronics expert, perhaps Rich can enlighten us?
