Over the weekend I was able to finish the install of my Fox Marine Gateways and hook them up to the existing NMEA2000 network on my boat (had one between the Fusion head unit and my Raymarine e97).

The Fox Marine's are powered up and transmitting data via the app to my phone, however I cannot get the data up on the e97s.

What should I start looking at?
 
Wiring diagram would help. Here's mine to an A95.

Great diagram, I'll try and whip one up this evening. Essentially all I did was removed the terminator from the T connector behind my e97 and added the new backbone cable to the engine room. It ends at a new 2 T connector with the terminator on its end and a line to each gateway.

After speaking with Fox Marine last night, I'll try to just setup a data screen on the e97 and not try to do the identify engine setup.
 
Loved the diagram. I actually have most of that equipment on my 2001 380 and have been hesitating. This really helps. From the seatalk hub how did you change to NMEA2000? I see you mentioned a custom spliced cable. Is that something you did or purchased? Adapter cable? Also the hub can handle both seatalk and steatalkng connections?
 
It is something that I did. Standard NMEA backbone cables and SeaTalk2Ng cables have similar cable paths, but different connectors. So I got a side of each, and spliced them together (almost 4 years ago). Works fine.
Allen will steer you right for setup.
My backbone is NMEA 2000, and the bits under the dash turn it into SeaTalk and ST2NG.

And she's live! Just had to setup a data page... now to figure out what to have up!

I had a tiny MFD but here’s what I used to run

Allen added an optional Oil pressure monitor to the new ones. My Raymarine A95 page looks like the one above, with oil pressure added. (I think instead of Alternator voltage. I have another voltage monitor on the dash).

Just saw the 2nd question. Yes, there is a SeatalkNG hub that has a yellow port. That is for Seatalk old school.
 
Oil pressure is built into mine, here is the screen I setup real quick.
