Installing back bone

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum Goldog,

Raymarine offers spur to DeviceNet and Spur to bare cables to support use with third party cables. It is indeed recommended that both a powered and properly terminated Suzuki backbone and a powered and properly terminated SeaTalkng backbone be installed onboard the vessel. The Suzuki engine would be interfaced as a spur to the Suzuki engine backbone and the MFD would be interfaced as a spur to the SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 backbone. A spur from each backbone would then be interfaced to a third party NMEA 2000 engine gateway (recommend contacting Suzuki) to pass engine data from the Suzuki backbone to the SeaTalkng/NMEA 2000 backbone.
