2005 F225txr engine side connector help

[99yam40]

now a days the dealers do not need to discount the models they still have on hand to sell them to make room for the new models. they can sell the motor as a new one years after it was made and people should be happy with that

[Keith Ohanesian]

I understand. I have a yamaha f225txr. The sticker that yamaha put on the other side was made in 2005. Just maybe the sticker.

Pic #2. What is that?

Hmmm. That's where one would install a cooling water pressure sensor.
But that looks like only part of something
I'm guessing a pressure sensor, with the electronic portion broken away?

Does not seem to exactly resemble the current Yamaha device:

[Keith Ohanesian]

Thank you Fairdeal. Thought it might have been that. I've not run this engine yet and I'm sure water will exit that area like a water gun.

Is there a loose connector around there somewhere that should connect to whatever was screwed on there?

Yes. Has anyone noticed how slow the water drains through the holes in pan? It wouldn't take much pressure to fill my cowl full of water. The cowl seal is pretty tight. Silencer/airbox is pretty low in the scheme of things.

Hey Fairdeal. This is pretty cool. This is a pic of a Simrad Go series that shows all engine data off to the side in your Nav or chart screens.

yes, nice.
IMO with modern N2K plotter there's not much benefit to the Yamaha CL screens.

I was not confuzeled. there is a F225txrd which was a 2005.
the F225TXR was not an 05.
there are some differences..
for the 06 and up motors there were serial number breaks for any modifications to the base model.
once you figured it out it was not so confusing.
parts smart based programs not so much and the snap-on parts manager pro program sucked and still does.
it is better than Volvo EPC off line.

some of the early run supposedly command link compatible ECU's simply were not.

[Keith Ohanesian]

Fairdeal, Ive looked into the interface from Yamaha to Simrad and you need to have at least the 6y9 gauge and then the gateway. It looks really good for people that have more money than me with a second station vessel. Also I'm not getting any trim or rpm info on either the Garmin or Simrad when name 2000 connected.

Can you be more specific about where you saw this?

[fairdeal]

getting Command Link / NMEA 2000 Yamaha engine data on a "third party" MFD has always been confusing;

recently Yamaha Navico and Garmin have added another level of obscurity: offering to make a MFD mimic a Command Link display

You may be seeing information on that latest wrinkle, which is described as requiring either a Gateway or a CL7 display.

But you need neither simply to display the engine data.

Exactly which model Garmin do you have?

[Keith Ohanesian]

New Simrad Evo2 NSO/NSS Update - That is The Hull Truth title.

I have a Simrad Go9xse and a Garmin Echomap chirp 73dv

Yes, that thread was about the "latest": the Simrad emulating a Yamaha Command Link display, including control functions.


The comments included a discussion of the difference from the existing capability to simply display engine data:

"What do we gain...other than a fancy logo and *****ing settings? My MFD has all the Yamaha gauges and fuel this has... "

"one of the main gains is that you could have a simple second station without a Yamaha Command Plus screen.
I do not think the Simrad Instruments screen was very friendly for triples.
Otherwise, I agree it is not much more than a fancy screen."


And regarding

"you need more than just the Gateway, you have to have either the "combination of Gateway (6YG-8A2D0-00-00) AND a Yamaha 6Y9 Gauge" ...

Just clarify for you guys running the Gateway and/or the 6Y8 (round guages) it won't work...according to Simrad."


As I said, it is all very confusing; both for us consumers - and the various "customer support reps"

[Keith Ohanesian]

It is completely confusing. I've figured out my issue. I have complete connectivity from the Simrad and Yamaha. The Simrad had to been shown the devices. It's not smart enough for plug and play.
