Anyone every connect a Raymarine E80 to a Nmea 2000 device?

Matt, I think I have the problem solved. I got the answer from a nice guy on the "hulltruth" site. I found out that the Raymarine E55053 cable is really a hybrid cable. It’s Seatalk2 for a C-series on one end and Seatalk2 for an E-series on the other end. You have to cut the cable and depending what Raymarine unit you have (C or E) and then splice the proper end into a Micro-C NEMA 2000 connector. While I was thinking of calling Maretron, I figured this guy had the same issues and got it to work so I’m going with his solution. I then called the guys at BOE Marine and they were familiar with what I wanted to do and are sending me the E55053 and Micro-C connector. Now I just have to send all the redundant cables back and wait till next month went I can get access to my boat again. And try all the stuff out.

Thanks so much for all the pointer and comments.
