Still the problem would be that the SK "propulsion.engine.revolutions" does not show up in KIP configuration screen. I tried entering it manually but the gauge still does not get updated. Also see: this link that is kind of a duplicate ... I did not realize the moderator had to approve posts before they where published and thought my discussion got lost. Maybe the moderator can close one of the posts?
The traffic sending signalk upd is next to nothing really, doubt if it could be a problem. Bonus is it goes straight into signalk as a number rather than a string so should show up in KIP without a node-red function to convert the string to a number. And easier to send to a database.
Does your mqtt data show up in kip with a widget set to text value?
