We just put a brand new yamaha 150 and a 740s on our Cape horn 22. I'm trying to figure out what I need to hook up the NMEA 2000.Is it possible with this setup? Is it easy to do? What all do I need to do it?
Most new engines have the interface. You will need the engine adapter, backbone, a few T's, and a power adapter. The evinrude site has a great network tool:

And their install guide is also excellent:

I have a pair of the lowrance/evinrude displays on my boat and love them, let me know if you are looking for some, I have a few extras:

Depends on if you have Command Link, Command Link Plus, or neither. So, which do you have? This question gets asked and answered about once a month on here so scroll down to find your answer, or just let m know what you have and I'll answer again.
