There is a great deal of information available here on CONTINUOUSWAVE about NMEA-2000 instrumentation, particularly the Bombardier Evinrude I-Command system which was the first (and so far as I know at this writing the only) outboard engine system certified for NMEA-200. An index to some of the articles follows:

For 2007 Bombardier I-Command Digital gauges are using a new wiring system which appears to be identical to the LowranceNet wiring (blue connector) system. See the installation guide for more information:

Bombardier have published a new Installation Guide for their NMEA-2000 vessel instrumentation (I-Command™) This new publication includes information and details for three different styles of connectors which have ben used in the interconnecting of devices on the NMEA-2000 data network backbone:

--Deutsch connectors
--Quick Connect blue connectors
--Quick Connect red connectors

The Quick Connect blue and red connectors are interchangeable with the similarly color-coded LowranceNET connectors.

This edition of the Installation Guide dates from October 2007 and is believed to be the most current version.
