I have a 2004 Mercury optimax and a humminbird helix 12 megaSI G2N. What would I need to link these so that I can get my artcraft gages to read on the unit?

Thanks Wayne. Will I need the murcury nmea2000 module from Mercury or is that what the as eth nmea 2k is?
I have the adapter cable as it is linked to my helix 7 up front. So I believe instead of the adapter cable on the list I will have to add a Ethernet box so that I can link both to the 12
The AS ETH NMEA2K is a black box that converts NMEA2000 to Ethernet. You need Ethernet to send the data to a Helix. You will need whatever is required to connect the engine data to the black box. Check on the Mercury board for whatever that is.
Since Ethernet is involved and you already are using the only two Ethernet connections you have, yes you need the AS ETH 5PXG Ethernet Switch to have connections for three devices. Each display and the NMEA2K connects to the Switch.
