I'd be very surprised if Crusader or any other engine marinizer will produce
retrofit kits to enable NMEA 2000 communication with displays. It would be
pretty expensive.

However, in time, perhaps several marinizers will cooperate to produce a
series of analog to digital readers to accomplish the job for individual
readouts. ie. a box for engine temp, another for RPM, another for oil
pressure, etc. In that way one could add as much or as little to the
display as desired or as may be affordable. An aftermarket company could
also do this, of course.

I hope it happens as it would virtually cause dash gages to become obsolete
and provide far more accurate info with a great range of alarm options.

Hello,

What are my choices on getting engine monitoring data into my Raymarine
E-80
display from a pair of 6.0 Crusader engines? The E-80 can monitor oil
pressure, rpm, fuel flow, fuel tank levels, alternator and coolant temp.
I
can use either their SeaTalk or NMEA formatted data.

How do I get the signals from the current analog gauge setup into the
E-80?
Whose devices are suitable?

Thanks,

You'd need a gizmo that converts the sensor data into NMEA-2000 (not
NMEA-0183). Start with the engine manufacturer?
