NMEA 2000 rudder angle

[Egor]

I need Rudder Angle display.
Network and display are there. Using Garmin.
The only question is sensor.

1 Is there NMEA2000 ready rudder sensor? Or it is always analog + converter (analog to N2K)?
2 If it is always analog + converter, then what to buy/use?

I used the Mercruiser steering angle sensor tied to the Garmin GRA 10 adapter.

The Mercruiser steering angle sensor is wired to work with the smartcraft plug on my boat but it would not communicate using via the gateway to my Garmin 943xsv so I cut the plug off and wired it directly to the GRA10 to communicate via nmea 2000. This would be a great path for boats that are not smartcraft ready.
