I've heard of people simulating Autohelm control on the Seatalk bus, which can be found in a couple of places on the Internet. There are somewhat detailed instructions on how to turn a low-cost RF remote into an autopilot control (http://berreizeta.blogspot.mx/2016/10/se...oller.html). NMEA APA and APB sentences also have some control functions available (here is a good reference http://www.catb.org/gpsd/NMEA.html#_apa_...sentence_a).
As for multiplexing NMEA streams, Openplotter (using KPLEX) does that very well. Just bring both streams into a separate input, then output them to both your OpenCPN instance and your E80.
Not sure that answers your question - perhaps I misunderstood what you are trying to do.
