I will be using an engine monitor system too though, I think. So I *think* this will indeed require the NMEA backbone, as most of these are NMEA 2000 compliant. I understand what you are saying though, about the Lowrance ethernet feature. Their stuff is amazing...

I thought of the engine monitor deal but already have full gauges, and you have to stop somewhere with this stuff before you start flopping around on the ground from research/equipment overload.
The fuel monitor would be nice to have, and I've been kicking it around a little more lately. I REALLY hated researching this GPS stuff but had to just to get things hooked up correctly in my boat.
You would need to link a compatible engine via a backbone for sure, if you think about it, the NMEA 2000 was designed not to be proprietary just so you could do something like that... Heck, you can even network a Humminbird to a Lowrance now in case you can't decide.
