I just installed my new toy ( simrad go7 on ram mount) while I'm simultaneously painting the bottom.  I have a 2004 350 mpi horizon. Can I acces info from the engine control module and what would I need.  Any ideas welcome, I know nothing about this technology. It is nmea 2000 compatible.

    You will need a N2K module that plugs into your engine and then into the N2K network. Just depends if your engine is SmartCraft compatible.

    MT is correct.  The mount is extremely well built.  It swings out of the way perfectly.  You could stand on that thing, lol.  Bought mine through cabelas.  It looked smaller and I thought it was plastic when I ordered.  It's aluminum.  Ram mounts have a lot of options and I didn't want it on the dash or in the way of the steps leading to the bow.  Very happy with the mount.  Thought it was a little pricey but when it arrived, I had no issue with the price.
