Thank you for the info. That is very helpful.@Jeremygavin
You will need to convert your smartcraft NIM to the J1939 version which involves the jumpers mentioned above.
Repairing jumper W5 and cut W2. (In my particular install, I wound up having a bad NIM and bought a J1939 NIM, but others here have done this conversion successfully)
Put the board back in, connected the Maretron J2k100 to the deutsch 12 pin connector via maretrons cable.
I then put the J2k100 onto the NMEA2k network that I had a drop cable to in my Engine Room and back to the helm.
As long as your N2k network has a terminator at each end, I'm pretty confident this will work for you too.
