I have a 2007 Yanmar that is supposedly nmea 2000 capable, and I noticed on my new Garmin chartplotter that there is a display option for engine gauges.
How would one hook the Yanmar up to the backbone? Do I run a cable back to the engine compartment? Is it worth the trouble?
My though was to have a redundant (more accurate?) set of gauges, and I think it would also give me fuel flow data, which would be fun to watch while Im supposed to be looking out the windows. ?
