Yamaha Command Link – Engine Monitoring & Rigging Systems

Yamaha Command Link is an advanced rigging and monitoring system that integrates your Yamaha outboard engines with digital gauges and displays. By creating a dedicated communication network on your boat, Command Link provides real-time engine data—such as RPM, fuel burn, oil pressure, and temperature—directly to easy-to-read, customizable displays at the helm. This system ensures you have complete control and instant access to your engine’s vital information for safer, more efficient boating.

Why choose Yamaha Command Link?

• Seamless communication: Connects Yamaha outboards, gauges, and controls into one integrated system.
• Clear, customizable displays: View critical data like speed, fuel level, trim angle, and engine diagnostics on a single screen.
• Compatible with NMEA 2000: Add a Yamaha NMEA 2000 Gateway to share data with other onboard electronics such as chartplotters.
• Supports multiple engines: Monitor up to four Yamaha outboards from a single interface.

The Yamaha Command Link system includes network hubs, wiring harnesses, and high-definition LCD displays. These components create a secure communication link between your Yamaha engines and helm station. With Command Link, you can:

• Monitor fuel efficiency, speed, and engine performance.
• Control digital throttle and shift (on applicable models).
• Use Y-COP security for theft protection.

For added functionality, the system integrates with Yamaha’s advanced 5-inch color display featuring night mode for easy visibility in low-light conditions. Whether your boat uses mechanical or digital shift, Command Link adapts to your rigging needs.

Traditional engine displays do not have the pizzazz of these display monitors. Command link is a complete system that can be used on new Yamaha engines. The system includes the displays, engine throttle shift, start stop, and the Y-COP immobilizer. Command link is a rigging system that includes wiring harnesses, network hub(s), and components. This system creates a computer network on a boat, and all the Yamaha components use the network to communicate between devices. If a Yamaha NEMA 2000 Gateway is added to the network, external (non-Yamaha) NEMA 2000-compliant devices can also access information from the Command link network. The Command link system works on both mechanical and digital shift Yamaha outboard motors. Now Yamaha has come out with a display that can compete with the graphics of fancier displays. The 5-inch high resolution LCD display has a cool nighttime setup with yellow numbers with blue indicator levels that aid nighttime reading. Yamaha's high definition Command Link gauges act as the nerve centre of your Yamaha-powered boat. Fully customizable and able to display data for up to four outboards, the screens are easy to read, simple to use and provide fingertip access to all of your engine's vital functions and statistics. Marine Yamaha Gauges & Gauge Kits are integral components for any ship or boating vessel. This equipment is the key to monitoring data, such as speed.

Gauges are an important feature of all waterborne vessels, including boats, ships, hovercraft and submarines. Boat gauges, or marine gauges, measure critical engineering parameters, such as clearance, depth and diameter, among others. They provide vital information about a machinery's working condition.

This equipment is the key to monitoring data, such as speed, oil pressure, battery conditions, and much more. By transmitting this information onto an easy to read screen or dial, these gauges allow for the easy operation of waterborne vessels. Marine gauges differ from auto or off-road instruments in a few ways. Marine casings and brackets are made of more resilient materials to combat water exposure, including saltwater. Lenses are capable of handling extreme humidity, heat, cold and moisture permeation. Dial faces have to resist UV exposure from the sun and be lit for night navigation. Marine gauges live in the toughest environment of all vehicles, which is why they are so expensive compared to non-marine gauges. Marine gauges are usually console-mounted to allow boaters an overview of the operations at a glance. Each boat gauges indicates an important boating function such as traveling speed, engine temperature, the number of operating hours, the water depth, fuel level, wind speed, water temperature, oil pressure, and the amount of electricity being generated. Trouble is, moisture is the enemy of electronics and can cause them to malfunction or just stop working altogether. When your boat gauges are no longer functioning accurately, replacement is recommended over repair.
