Started learning how all the Command Link gauges and wires are attached and what they do. Hopefully Yamaha gets my new F250xca FBW motor shipped out to my dealer this month. They are hanging it, I'm doing my rigging. I pick up the control box the end of the month when I go down for boat show. That's the last piece to this puzzle. Then the re-rig begins.

I'm excited to get started for sure. Will clean up alot of the wires under the helm with the FBW. That big main engine harness and the control cables will go away.

Following. Interested in how they interface with the chartplotter for easier to read data. I know on my old merc boats, it was a heck of a lot easier to tell wth was going on than the gauges I have now....albeit.. learning curve, am used to mercs

Should be a NMEA hookup that will feed info to plotter. I'll find out.

With those new gauges, do you still need the fuel switch between main and Aux or does the gauge let you see both or toggle between them

I can do away with the switch as the new gauge has 2 tank inputs and will show both tanks all the time, no toggling.
