Well done! Great explanation of the engine NMEA connection. You said that you were not able to get the data on the Garmin screen? It should be able to connect to the NMEA bus and play along with the Lowrance and Yamaha. Just do what I do in the airplane... keep pushing buttons until you figure it out. In all seriousness, make sure that you have updated the software on the units. My experience with Garmin is that when there's an update, you want it on there yesterday. As for your mentality on engine maintenance, you are very wise! As a civilian pilot and military aircraft mechanic, you're treating your boat like an airplane. If people did that with their cars and boats, they would not break down nearly as often as they do (most don't even check tire pressures on the car or trailer). I call it keeping the big bad wolf away by being proactive. Well done, sir! I'm subscribing!
So a outboard motor I face cable needs to be purchased for my 2021 Yamaha 50? Then I need 2 T for drop cables to the engine and the Garmin Echomap? And a 3rd T for the backbone power supply? The a male and female termination resisters, one for each end?
Hello, I also want to connect a yamaha 150f detl 2016, but the service technician mentioned to me that I need an adapter for the yamaha engine. As I see it, you mounted it without a jumper and everything works?
Hello any idea on what the problem was connecting to the garmin, I have the same problem not getting any of the motor readings. Thanks for the video very well explained
Thanks for watching verdant dujmovic. Unfortunately, my zx190 doesn’t come equipped with a Yamaha gauge. I Suspect this is how they kept the price low. This is why I installed a nmea 2000. I don’t have a oil change reminder. I just write the hour on my oil filter at the time I change but I change my before a 100 hours.
hey i have a question can i connect the interface cable from the motor directly to the gps to the nema 2000 plug in or do i need a command link getaway
Nice job wearing that up. I have a question for your power cable did you hook the positive and -2 your ignition switch switch or directly to the battery not sure what to do there thank you.
Jeff Ghigo. Tanks for watching. My boat came pre wired with a power to my auxiliary switch wires ran. So I just hook up to that wire and I could power off and on with my auxiliary switch. That how I power mine. Hope this was helpful. And sorry it told me 2 days to get you an answer.
