Anyone who has the NMEA 2000 Bennett trim tab senders for display on most MFD's, if you try and calibrate the senders with a Maretron DSM, you may wipe out and render the device useless as I did. In calling Bennett (actually Yamaha now) there is nothing that can be done to reprogram the device unless you have a Lowrance MFD that is capable of calibrating the Trim Tab sender. That came straight from their only tech support guy. They have no procedure to send commands and I was told only other manufacturers have their own programming for the device. Yes, other manufacturer's have their own spec to program these senders. That is absolutely crazy. Lowrance can't help as it was a contracted project or something as I was told, I think more like the person who created these is no longer around and took that info with him.
I was told my best bet was to use a Garmin GBT-10 as that could be Programmed by the Garmin MFD, Raymarine doesn't support this.
Anyway I thought I would post my trials and tribulations on this ...
