Any idea what is needed to do this? There isn’t a nema2000 connection at the engines.Yes, My 2006 F250s are connected to 5212s.
Read my post earlier in this thread.Any idea what is needed to do this? There isn’t a nema2000 connection at the engines.
I agreeYamaha makes a cable as do aftermarket manufacturers. They are just a little more expensive and probably have a diode in them to prevent your MFD’s from providing any data back to the motor. If you are not familiar with the way that a data bus works is probably better to just buy one of their cables.
This bus (?) is located under helm behind my current square gauges. There is another one at the stern close to engines. Where would I plug in and would it go straight to NEMA2000 backbone?I agree
Hopefully you will come across the solution. We are anxious to find one also!I have connected my Lowrance through the Yamaha hub at the helm (spare port) to my NMEA 2000 Only getting RPM cannot seem to access any more info. Still working at it.
Do you know part # for gateway you use?i connected 2009 F350's to garmin 5212's. i used the yamaha gateway. plugs into the yamaha bus and N2K backbone for the MFD. there were other cheaper gateways but the yamaha only allowed one way communication so i thought it best to go that way. good uck, ron
Did you ever complete this connection? I'm looking to do the similar 06 Express, twin 06 F250s (going to Garmin). My existing Hub is filled so I'm thinking I need to add an additional Hub following the attached schematic. Then the J1939 connector from this new hub to the Garmins. Does this make sense?Sounds like I’m going to need this cord and add another hub. I have no extra ports in the one behind my helm. Boat is ‘06 Grady 330 w/F250s.
I didn’t but I have the parts, extra hub and cord. May take another crack at this over the winter.Did you ever complete this connection?
