I have a Yamaha 200 wih the older command link square guages and I want to get the engine information on my Simrad NNS12. Ive read a few forums and seems to be alot of opinions as to what is needed to get the information to the Simrad. Has anyone done this with this engine / sounder configuration. Is it as simple as getting a Yamaha to Simrad interface cabel and connecting it from the hub to the sounder?
Anyone who knows this kinda stuff I would be interested to pick your brain
Cheers

Sorted
Cheers for all the responses hahaha
Anyway was able to get it sorted, one word of advice is dont listen to Yamaha dealers haha. They try and sell you an interface module and cables all up around $500. Was able to get it sorted for about $180 with 2 cables.
Pretty much needed a Yamaha Y splitter to free up a device port on your hub and then get a device port to NMEA200 cable to plug into your Simrad. Found a garmin cable that worked. Will attach pics to the post for the explanation.
