Does Yamaha make a small gauge similar to smartcraft?

[KYKTB]

Just wondering if Yamaha makes a small gauge similar to Mercs smartcraft gauge? Would like to be able to see engine temp, rpm's and hours on motor. I know they have their standard digital gauges available but they run around $1000 . I will be using Humminbird electronics so no interlink cable is available.

You can still use the interlink cable from Lowrance and buy a LMF-400 gauge or a couple of the LMF -200 gauges and have all the info from the motor going straigh tot he gaues. Last I looked there gauges are about $200 each give or take a little bit.
These are mulit function gauges and you can set them would to show analog or digital and they will show 1,2 or 4 item per page just what ever you would like to see.

I would suggest just one LMF-400

I have these on my dash and love them.

also need to install nmea 2000 network for the gauges to function

If you have a network capable Lowrance, get an engine interface cable for $60 and get all kinds of info on your Lowrance screen.

My new Phoenix will have Humminbird electronics. Yamaha digital gauges cost approx $1000. Looking for a more cost effective alternative to show basic info on the SHO.

Like spider1 said, get 1 LMF 400 gauge. It can replace your tach or speedo. The cost of the gauge, nmea 2000 network starter kit and interface cable should be less than 350.00.

I've been down this path with LMF gauges and it can get very expensive with all the sensors to be T-Boned for trim, fuel, oil, WPSI. Also, if you have Humminbird electronics you'll either have to add a nmea2000 GPS puck to get speedo to display MPG/MPG functions correctly or get Acitsense NGW-1 bridge that allows NMEA0183 (Humminbird) data to handshake with NMEA2000 gauges. They are nice and they do work as advertise.

Command Link in my opinion is a bit more user friendly and doesn't require any work around for full functionality.

If you decide to go Command Link, i have both available.

Those are nice gauges..

[Flyswatter]

Command Link are very nice gauges. I've had them. Very accurate too.

I did have one minor complaint with them though. The water PSI function is horizontal bar graph display and not digital read out. However once you know that middle of the Bar Graph represents 15 plus PSI you are okay but I do prefer the digital display for WPSI. Everything else is fantastic.
