Hoping someone can help me locate the NMEA 2000 location in the engine compartment. I am trying to install a Garmin GFS 10 fuel sensor. Thanks.

You won't likely find one in there. It's CAN bus up to the dash where there is a gateway to NMEA 2000,
Out of curiosity, why are you installing a fuel sensor? All of that is pretty much on the CAN bus already. What engine do you have?

Thanks for the reply. I have a 5.7L 300 HP volvo penta with the GPSMAP 7607 Glass Captain. I have had difficulty with an accurate fuel level reading even after calibration of the 7607. After posting I was able to get into the NMEA2000 by tying into the transducer and the system now wees the GFS10.

Good idea getting it from the transducer. Completely forgot about that.
