Connecting a Yamaha Engine Bus to a Compatible Chartplotter
Various Garmin chartplotters can be connected to a Yamaha Engine Bus to bring Yamaha's custom touchscreen engine interface to the Garmin device. By using a J1939/Engine connection or using an NMEA 2000 connection. Connecting to a Yamaha Engine Bus lets the chartplotter receive and display information like engine alerts, RPM, fuel level, MPH, voltage, trim tab angle, temperature, oil, and more.
NOTE:
•Not all chartplotters will have all the display options. Consult theOwner's Manual see;Finding the Owner's Manual for a Garmin Devicefor more information on setting up and configuring the gauges.
•The TD 50 does not support the Yamaha user interface engine page.
•The Yamaha interface display becomes available when a J1939-compatible Yamaha engine connects to a compatible GPSMAP® chartplotter.
Connecting Using J1939/Engine Connection
To connect using a J1939/Engine connection, you will need a J1939 compatible chartplotter or instrument display and a J1939 compatible engine or engine gateway. You will also need a Yamaha Engine Bus to J1939 Adapter Cable.
Connecting Using an NMEA 2000 Connection
To connect using an NMEA 2000 connection, you will need an NMEA 2000 compatible chartplotter and an NMEA 2000 Network.
It is important to ensure that the vessel has only one NMEA 2000 Gateway. If a vessel has a Yamaha CL7 display, the CL7 will be the gateway for NMEA 2000. Having more than one NMEA 2000 Gateway can cause data issues.
