I believe that's the pigtail feeding the Smartcraft harness. If you can trace that line it should lead to the ER harness that then goes up to the helm. You can replace that plug with one that goes into your converter of choice, make a splice into the harness. Another option is to make the connection at the helm, either by using one of the left-over DieselView cables or make a new J-box connector, which is what I did. Since I didn't have NMEA 2K in the ER, this made sense for me.
So, you had genset data on your dieselview before upgrading to a vesselview and then used the Yacht Devices to convert from J1939 to NEMA2k by using the harness from the genset NIM output that goes to the helm, then into your NEMA backbone? I don't recall seeing any harnesses at the helm labeled GENSET NIM, but would imagine that when I tone them out, they would be found in one of the J-boxes.
Did you have to cut any of the NIM jumpers? What about those resistor caps that I've seen mentioned in other posts?
