One of the sad signs of our times is that we have demonized those who produce, subsidized those who refuse to produce and canonized those who complain.

I went & had a chat to the local Merc dealer about the Mercmonitor gauges ...... He wasn't 100% sure as it depended if the motor was set up for analogue or digital. needed to see it
This bloke I've used previously for boatcode / NSW registration & found him pretty trustworthy . .... I laid it on the line as I would need a local guy for services .... plus to do the rego transfer / boatcode.
Anyhow he ran over what I should be looking for when buying this motor ....... RPM , Oil , Gearbox oil - etc ..... even printed me out the specifications .
I asked him outright about the motor & reliability ......... He basically said that these were a pretty bullet proof motor & took me over to his own boat - which was running the same vintage (pe 2014) same block & had over 2000 hours on it . ( His other business was a boating school) . He showed me the Merc monitor gauge that was fitted to his own boat .
certainly a worthy 30 mins spent with the guy

What hull is it on? You buying that too ?
I think this is what your looking for, i donno much about NMEA 2000 but you must have to use a Mercury gateway from the engine to the gauge or maybe thru NMEA than to the gauge i donno how it works
