I would dig further. It should have a "T" somewhere. NMEA2000 can't just be a cable from one device to another, it needs to be a system. I'm sure there is a power "T" and a "T" for the radio at the very least.

Glad you got it figured out.....Some brands can connect to these marine radios and you can use the head unit to control it like change stations, volume, source, etc.Originally Posted by WestTexasRanger
Mystery Solved!
I just spoke with one of the production managers at Ranger Plant #2. The N2K cable that I discovered behind the bow panel runs to the Infinity stereo system. That makes sense because the cable is exiting a conduit on the Port side, which is the same side as the stereo. The stereo system can communicate with certain fish-finder/chart-plotter units. I don’t know what a stereo and a fish-finder have to talk about, but it’s there, should the need arise.
My boat does not have a N2K installed from the factory.
Its there in the event that he install unit(s) that will work with the radio.
YOU are not entitled to what I have earned!!!!!

What John at Ranger told me is that it’s a cable drop from the area where the stereo is mounted, to the bow access. The cable at the stereo isn’t plugged, and the stereo is powered from the switch at the console. They simply install the cable drop for future use, should a N2K be installed.
