I did the conversion and it's pretty straight forward. Take a look and get a visual of what you want to do in your boat. Are you connecting a NMEA2000 stereo, remotes, displays for passengers in the future? Laying out the NMEA 2000 network backbone so you can add in the future is a good tip to get started. I went from the helm around the cockpit to the co-pilot dash with a break in the engine compartment. That way I can just "T" into the backbone quickly and effortlessly.

Seems pretty straight forward. I think the only thing that wont read through this setup is the Livorsi fuel gauge/sender. I’m going to look into what it will take to make that work.

maretron tla100 adapter will put the tank level on the nmea network. I have the gateway to program the description in the coding.
