Evinrude data on TZT9F

I have a TZT9F and a 2007 Evinrude 250 that are both connected to my nmea 2000 network. My engine broadcasts mostly standard PGNs. I have two lowrance LMF-400 gauges that are picking up the engine data on the network. If I look in the device list in my TZT9F, I see my tank and LC200, which I assume is the engine. The engine gauges are showing no data, but the tank gauges are showing. In an etec forum, someone mentioned that the device needs to be "enabled", https://www.etecownersgroup.com/pos...uruno-9719045?highlight=furuno&pid=1303972663. I don't see anywhere in the device menus to enable the data. Is there an extra step I am missing?
 
Do the two engines have unique instance numbers. The port engine should be instance 0 and the starboard engine should be instance 1. This is done by the engine manufacturer. If that is correct and the PGN information is available, running the Automatic Engine & Tank Setup is all that needs to be run (Home-Settings-Initial Setup-Instrument Setup). If the auto setup doesn't work, then there is either data missing or more likely the engine instancing hasn't been done.

I only have a single engine. I ran through the auto setup, and it didn't pick up the engine data. I read through the manual, and it said there was a manual option if the auto setup fails. It is just vague on what to do.

I looked at an old engine report, and the position is set to 0.
