Engine data on plotter? Help please

[solar]

2008 D1-30B engine.
2015 Raymarine e7 7" plotter.

Anyone who did that can advise please about how to get engine data on screen?
What info can I have?
What parts/cables are needed?
Prices?
Installation?

Thanks.

You'll need some EVC kit from your Volvo Penta dealer - give them the engine serial number and ask what's needed.

The VP converter box to output NMEA engine data is around £400.

Thanks,
What engine info data can I get on the plotter if I go for it?

Revs, certainly.  Temp and oil pressure if the engine has appropriate sensors.  VP dealer will be able to advise.
