Mercury Engine Info

Furuno Fan
I replaced one of my TZT's and everything works great. Radar, Fishfinder, Sirius Satellite, Charts and Autopilot interface with the chart. However, I previously had installed the special "decoder" that allows Furuno to display mercury engine data. All of that info is now dead - no activity. Any thoughts on where to look?
 
By "decoder" I assume either Mercury's new SmartCraft Connect Gateway or the older NMEA 2000 Gateway part 8M0165589. Does Mercury vessel data populate on any of your other TZs?
How about in Vessel View? I would check out the NMEA2000 basics, is the backbone properly powered (check breaker, connections, shield & grounds), is it properly terminated?, Does it appear on the sensor list? Is it instanced properly in the Furuno TZ? Is all the Mercury components up to date software-wise?

Might be a simple loose connection or bad tee even, :sail
