I have a 2015 Yamaha F200 (mechanical throttle) with the standard multifunction gauges and I would like to try and add it to a NMEA 2000 network. I have read quite a bit about this on here, but I am still a little confused. I do not know if I am looking for the wrong thing or if my motor is different.
From what I understand, if I have the multifunction gauges, then I should have an open NMEA 2000 connector on the motor. However, I can find no open connectors and it appears that the NMEA 2000 connector (blue and white wires) is being used by a wire that connects directly to my multifunction gauges. My build sheet says I have multifunction gauges AND I can not find any Command Link hub, so I am pretty confident (now) that I do not have Command Link gauges.
Here are my gauges:
Here is the connectors on my engine (the white connector in the front middle is the one with the blue and white wires. IOW, the suspected NMEA 2000 connector.)
For good measure, here is where the cable that runs from my engine connects to the pig-tail that runs to my gauges (the grey to white connection- the grey being the connector on the cable that runs from the engine, the white connector going to the pig-tail that plugs into each of the 2 multifunction gauges):
And the rear of the multifuncation gauges:
Am I going to have to use the Lowrance 120-37 cable and disconnect my multifunction gauges in order to get my engine data on to a NMEA 2000 network?
