There are companies that make custom h/s labels, I did that for some wires then just bought white shrink for others and sharpied them in before setting them.

NMEA 2000, is mostly plug and play once you buy the back bone cable, tees and terminators, there are a few basic rules that apply to get optimum performance and setting on you machine to transmit to it , 1080 is a different cat, and requires a lot more head scratching and actual wiring, most devices dont use that anymore but usually have a port capable of reading it.. I'm not an expert, but I am pretty well versed in its set up, and have a ton of literature about it, we can start another thread if need be so as not to pollute/hijack this one.

A good run is better than a bad stand!
