NMEA 2K on 2010 115 saltwater series?

[cmbubner]

Morning All,

Can someone tell me if they have managed to connect a NMEA 2K to a 2010 2 stroke 115 saltwater series outboard? Thanks

no carbureted Yamaha engine has NMEA 2000 connectivity, period.

Thanks for that, I was aware of that however there are ways to convert from analog to digital for NMEA2K

What engine information are you expecting to get?

What engine information are you expecting to get?

temps, pressure, rpm, fuel flow. I have had it previously on a F60, however I have purchased a new boat with a 115 saltwater and was after similar info. I know that it can't be got directly however was after ppl's experiences with third party products to convert to NMEA. Cheers

Fuel flow is actually most certain and easy;
Garmin and Navico each make a NMEA 2000 flow sensor that is very reliable.
Temp and cooling water pressure are also possible but configuration -
identifying the input correctly - may be more challenging.

Engine rpm is an interesting one -
I don't think I've ever seen a discrete NMEA 2000 "tachometer" input...
