Gateway for J1939 engines including Volvo Penta, Caterpillar, Cummins, Yanmar, Mercury SmartCraft, and BRP Rotax to NMEA 2000 marine electronics network. It will provide you with engine revolutions, motor hours, coolant temperature, battery voltage, warning and alarms, fuel rate, and other data on the screen of your chart plotter. 

Engine Gateway YDEG-04

Gateway for J1939 engines including Volvo Penta, Caterpillar, Cummins, Yanmar, Mercury SmartCraft, and BRP Rotax to NMEA 2000 marine electronics network. It will provide you with engine revolutions, hours, coolant temperature, battery voltage, warning and alarms, fuel rate, and other data on the screen of your chart plotter.

The Engine Gateway is compatible with BRP Rotax (see customer's video with Rotax 1503 4-tec Engines), J1939 engines (Caterpillar, Cummins, Yanmar, etc.), Mercury SmartCraft, and most Volvo Penta engines manufactured since 2004, and even with some engines manufactured before 2000.

Compatible Volvo Penta engines: 

• with all versions of EVC-B, EVC-C, EVC-D, EVC-E (most modern engines manufactured since 2006);
• D1 and D2 series with MDI (Mechanical Diesel Interface), for example D2-40F;
• EDC III and EDC IV diesel engines (EMS 2.0, EMS 2.2);
• with EVC-A MC (see customer's video with D3-160A-A) and EVC-A EC (also known as EVCmc and EVCec);
• EFI engines with MEFI4B ECU or later (gasoline, 2004-2005), with or without an EVC system installed;
• all EGC engines (gasoline, 2005 and Later), with or without an EVC system installed.

On most vessels with Volvo Penta engines, all that you need is to plug the device into an empty socket of the NMEA 2000 network backbone and connect the engine cable to a Multilink hub or, using the built-in Y-connector on the engine cable of Gateway, to connect it in series with any of the EVC tachometers.

Compatible common-rail Yanmar engines include:

• 3JH40
• 4JH45
• 4JH57
• 4JH80
• 4JH110

For some engines (please see section IV of manual for details) an adaptor cable is required, and we offer different adaptor cables for a reasonable price (available in the accessories section of the ordering page).

Factory settings are suitable for most of vessels with one or two engines. In case of two or more engines, one Gateway is enough if they are joined to a single network.

The Gateway is compatible with virtually all equipment supporting NMEA 2000 and is certified by National Marine Electronics Association. Raymarine SeaTalk NG, Simrad SimNet, and Furuno CAN networks are branded versions of NMEA 2000 and differ only by connector type. Garmin uses the NMEA 2000 Micro connector in its devices, which is compatible with the DeviceNet Micro connector.

The Gateway is supplied with a connector compatible with SeaTalk NG or a connector compatible with NMEA 2000 Micro Male (see the picture below). For other networks, an adaptor cable may be required.
