    Bob's Jackplate Position Display on GPSMAP 8616

    Hey Garmin Gurus,

    I am having trouble getting my Bob's jackplate position displayed on my Garmin GPSMAP 8616. I am running software version 25.30 which supports the display of the jackplate position. There is an option in the engine display page for the jackplate sensor but it isn't displaying the position. Here are my questions:

    1) Is anyone here having success displaying a Bob's jackplate position on their Garmin MFD?
    2) Does anyone know the PGN for the Bob's jackplate data (this would allow me to see if the data is getting to the MFD or if the problem is at the jackplate)?

    Thanks,
    Jonathan

    I searched out and saw that thread before which gave me the confidence that it will read. I just can't seem to get mine reading. Thanks for sharing though.

    Also interested. Please leave the details and Bob's product information on the thread.
    I couldn't find the information on their website.

    I’ll keep you posted. Bob’s is on the case so I am hopeful we’ll get a resolution soon.
