Fuel Consumption Data from Yamaha F150

[joe.fleming@comcast.net]

Can the data from the Yamaha F150 be accessed directly by a NMEA 2000 compatible system such as the LowranceNet? I'd like to be able to display/monitor the fuel useage rate the the engine on my LMS332. <br /><br />A Yamaha rep showed me the two wires that connect up to the the Yamaha CommandLink. He said the data is locked and accessible only via a CommandLink setup which runs over $1,000<br /><br />If the F150 is truly NMEA 2000 compatible I would think I could connect it directly to the Lowrance Network.

I believe I recall them saying that you can at the last dealer update seminar, but you need more than just those two wires. Something about a power wire and something else. That's when memory fades to black. Must've nodded-off.

nope<br /> a GPS can be added to the command link but the ECU on the engine cannot be accessed without command link, yet.<br /> but there are yamaha and aftermarket fuel flow meters.<br />you can buy the sensor for your lowrance and install it in the fuel line.

I have a lowrance also and the whole NEMA 2000 thing is barely off the ground at this point <br /><br /><br />Even lowrance only has 4 sensors that work at this point and there are pretty regular software updates to get things working as well as thay should.<br /><br /><br />I think in about a year it will be much inproved <br /><br /><br />tommays
