network. If you don’t see data, try disconnecting the NMEA
2000 connection you made to the EMS100 as something may
have been connected incorrectly.
Ensure that the Maretron wiring harness is securely connected
both to the EMS100 and to the existing engine wiring harness as
directed in the instructions supplied with the Maretron wiring
harness.
Once you are sure that the NMEA 2000 network is operational with
a connected EMS100, ensure that the NMEA 2000

Ensure that the ignition switch for engine is turned on. The
EMS100 draws the majority of its power from the engine power
connection.
Ensure that the EMS100 is programmed with an appropriate
engine NMEA 2000 instance as described in Section 2.5.1.
Ensure that all NMEA 2000
