I have a new Garmin 942xs MFD, and all firmware/software is updated to the latest level. I spoke with Mercury Marine Tech support and they claim it should be plug and play with my setup. Engines (Twin Merc 8.1S Gas) and were setup from factory with Smart Craft (sc5000). I then spoke with Garmin and after looking into the device log, it is seeing the Mercury Gateway, but it’s not receiving any data. After running diagnostics overview, the system indicates it’s not receiving data. At this point, Garmin is thinking the system does not have enough power and thinks I might need another power source. (Not too sure about that). Mercury Marine thinks it could be an incorrectly terminated NMEA 2000 backbone (if it was not properly terminated, something would not have worked before adding the Gateway), or bad Gateway. Thinking it might be the gateway, especially after reading the link above....
