Kohler 5ECD to Vessel View 7

So has anyone got genset info on there MFD yet? I did the whole conversion to N2K and not displaying on Simrads
 
I don't see any gen info on the Garmin even though I can see main engine data. Only able to see gen info on the original vessel view unit. Oddly, that screen defaults to Onan until the gen battery switch is on, then it comes alive with proper Kohler branding and data.
 
I have a 2007 SeaRay 38 with a 7.3ECD that I’m trying to get connected to my SC5000 (smart craft). I have found the p19 plug at the Gen, but cant find anything going to the helm. Any suggestions of where to look? I only see the Port and Starboard “J boxes” behind the helm, should there be a third for the Gen?

In my case, the gen data cable is purple and was tied up in a wire bundle running up the starboard side. One end was above and just forward of the gen, the other end was tied up with that bundle in the void space beside the driver seat/helm station. Had to search for a day or two until I found the ends.

I am keenly interested in this thread. I have just ordered the parts to replace the impeller and anode on my genny, will look for the cables when I do it.
My 2007 300DA has the Smartcraft gauges, not the vesselview screen. I am using a YachtDevices YDEG04 to send data to my Axiom 9+.

I will need to replace one of my 4 port jbox units with a 6 port as all ports are currently in use.... was planning that anyway to make provision for replacing the YDEG04 with a Smartcraft Connect.
