    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    The NMEA 2000 Standard specifies the connectors used, PGN listings, power distribution schemes, etc. to allow connected components to be Plug and Play. The mere fact that they require a Gateway (translate CAN PGN to NMEA PGN) tells you the motor is not a NMEA 2000 certified device...

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    Only because pin outs on the two (different) connectors don't match up for power. There is no reason why you couldn't connect just the data lines and use either port. If you know of technical reason why it couldn't be done I'm all ears.

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    You mean "Gateway" as in adapter cable....lol Problem is......the motor is not NMEA2K compliant. Limited to the native CAN pgns, not a full compliment of NMEA2K pgns. Good excuse to upgrade and your chart plotter (J1939) and use it as your "Gateway" to your NMEA 2000 network

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    It’s my understanding that neither command link or command link plus protocols are not bi-directional. Been in industrial Automation since communication links where banks of relays. Worked with more Serial and Ethernet based links over the years than I care to remember. Have never run into...

    Bowriders that handle waves well?

    Not a bow rider or DC fan but I’ll take a CC for ride comfort and accessibility for fighting fish over any other configuration. If you’ve ever chased big fish on light tackle in a small boat you’d understand the fascination. That’s what they make thermals and Grundens for…lol I like my...

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    What Garmin do you have? I would use the J1939 connection if available. If nothing else give them a call. They're local to me. Very knowledgeable on everything Yamaha

    225 ocean pro (won't start)

    @IDFISHER It's not by-passed.....the functionally is outlined in the Operator's Manual. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/820846/Johnson-Pl.html?page=17#manual "In an emergency situation, the engine can be started without the clip in place. Follow the normal starting procedure. Reinstall a clip...

    Primer Bulb Recommendation?

    It very well could be......but you have to watch Walmart. A lot of companies produce (lower cost) products specifically for Walmart. Found that out while comparing serial numbers (options) on flat screen TVs sold by Best Buys and Walmart. Have since found a number of items that don't fall...

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    Read the attachment you posted above. AS FYI.... From Garmin... Can a J1939 Engine be Connected to the NMEA 2000 Network Some marine engine manufacturers utilize the J1939 protocol to communicate via the CAN system. J1939 and NMEA 2000 use the same message formats, but the method of sending...

    2022 Yamaha 300hp 4-stroke Command Link NMEA

    If you have Command Link Plus, CLP and Nema2k are not compatible. You need a 6‐pin Command‐Link Plus Gateway cable MAR‐GTWAY‐KT‐00.

    Primer Bulb Recommendation?

    Walmart doesn’t carry quality fuel delivery components. You want OEM Evinrude/Johnson, Yamaha, Mercury, etc. Order from a high volume supplier..sitting on the shelf for a year or two prior isn’t doing you any favors. Whatever you do stay away from third party fuel lines. The notorious Atwood...

    Bowriders that handle waves well?

    Interior layout (weight distribution) has a lot to do with rough water handling. Take a ride in a DC, CC or WA built on the same hull… the ride quality of each is very different. In the rough, I’ll take a CC any day….twice on Tuesday

    Has anyone seen or heard of a trailer tire doing this?

    I suspect this in an old wives tale….the truth to the matter is that UV and ozone are tire killers. Easier to just keep fresh tires on the equipment and not worry about it..lol

    Mercury 250 hp V8 vs Mercury Verado 250 hp V8

    Personally, would take the #70 lighter 4 stroke over the Verado Also keep in mind that the stated output (HP) can vary plus on minus 10% of actual. Do your home work….not out of the realm of possibility that one motor puts out 260 Hp and the other 240 Hp

    Is 17ft long enough for a tournament bass boat?

    Not sure where you posted the “Florida regulations”. Both links lead to “federation” websites.
