This chapter documents the specifics when displaying Victron NMEA 2000 information on Furuno MFDs. Note that this is not
meant to be an extensive guide. Its the simple result of our R&D checking everything on a Furuno MFD. The functionality is
(mostly) dictated by Furuno software and may therefore also change and improve when Furuno company changes their software.
The MFD can be configured easily to display the data from the GX device. To display tank data, there is no need to change any
