How to tell if my Mercruiser supports NMEA 0183 or 2000 or nothing

I'm also "stuck" in analog, while craving the neat new electronic displays of engine data.
I've been considering this

but haven't spoken with anyone who has actually done it on their boat..
if you haven't already bought the kayak.

That's just the device I would need! Good find.

I did it but with the Noland product.

I know I'm late to the conversation, but I too have installed the NOLAND modules on a customers boat. They work ok, but as it has been stated...the sensors are non-linear. The NOLAND RS11 need a series of points (Which they only have two) would make it far more accurate. You basically can only set a HIGH and LOW point for the NMEA 2K output. Everything in between is just a guess on the modules part. NOLAND is working on MODS, but it still in the process of development. Still, its a neat way to get Analogue gauges to comunicate to MFD's

Thanks for the pic, Steve. I’m about to do this and that’s exactly what I needed. Wasn’t sure where to put all those junctions boxes and stuff!
