I have a Merc Gateway connected to my smartcraft system and Garmin GPS. I can see ALL data, Except the rudder direction. I can get the icon up, but it just shows blank. Any idea why? I'm going to call Merc tomorrow and see if I can get an answer.
 
Do you have a rudder sensor for your autopilot? They throw out the same N2K PGNs. If so, see if you can get this screen on your Garmin; I think it's under the "Sources" menu but not sure:

No, No rudder sensor for autopilot. The reactor 40 doesn't need it. Just the factory one that shows up on the sc5000
 
I have a rudder sensor that showed on the SC5000 but it’s not coming up on my newly installed Vessel View. Same situation as you I can get it to show on the creek but no input. Hoping to have more time to play with it this weekend and will post if I find it.

Edit:
