No SignalK on N2K
Installed new Vulcan plotters and did some general maintenance. Now I can't get signlk data to my plotters.
I do get nmea data on my signalk server and the candump is humming and spinning like a cat.
Signalk used to be available in my device list on my old plotter, but not now. Even after a refresh.
Any ideas about where to start troubleshooting?

First make sure you are using canboatjs (not canboat)
Second turn on debug for the n2k-signalk plugin and check the log to see that it sending data.
Just came home from the boat and had missed this! But I am pretty sure I set it to canboatjs - after all, all I've done is to get new plotters!
One thing though, the plotters defaults to NMEA 0183 connection? Should I change that? Also the Vulcan 7 present in the list is no longer there, but can't be deleted.
Her is the device list where SK was present in my old setup.
Hold on here @Scott Bender ! Is the problem that I've accidentally deleted this:
https://github.com/SignalK/signalk-over-n2k
After all, I want my SK data to display on my Vulcan MFD on the NK2 bus
No. That’s not it.
I am underway single handed right now, so can’t spend any time on this.
There are a bunch of threads about n2k sending issues here on Discord, take a look at them…
ok but just to be clear - my issue is about n2k receiving.
Well, both I guess? 🤣
You don’t need that Vulcan 7 connection, if everything is on n2k
Are you saying you can’t delete that “Data Connection”?
Yes. The Vulcan 7 is removed physically, but I can't delete it. It says that it isn't found. Yet it shows up on the list.
What do the 'Server Logs' tell after a restart of SignalK?
