Connect 2009 yamaha f115txr to nmea 2000 network
I appears to be a better way to connect a chartplotter to your engines. My 4210 does not have a J1939 connector but my new 943xsv does. J1939 is a newer interface that wasn't available when I did mine. I have all my Yamaha engine gauges/information on my 4210. I connected both motors to my Garmin 4210 via the NMEA2000 bus. On my 2005 Yamaha F150's I had to order a cable for each motor that terminated in a NMEA2000 connector. You will not be able to use N2k for anything else. If you connect a yamaha j1939 adapter to the Garmin N2k port it may function as a stand alone N2k connection to the engine. The J1939 Yamaha adapter kit shown above is a direct connect to the Garmin j1939 port and so is isolated from the House power and/or N2k power bus. There is a "NMEA2K Power Isolator" available out there to accomplish this.
N2k connected to engines has to isolate the power from the N2k network so that it powers with the engine (key switch on) and does not power on from the House 12V. An N2k backbone is connected to +12V that is on with your House power. Many devices like gps and sensors and GHC20s are even powered by N2k and will not work without it.Įdit: There is a quirk to connecting to engines though. Everything out there now uses N2k to share everything. Without that, you can connect to N2k but get slightly lesser functionality.

Newer 7400 & up have J1939 and software specificaly for Yamama. The difference between J1939 and N2k is in the communication protocol that the Yamaha/Garmin use. The J1939 Yamaha adapter uses the same plug as NMEA2k.
