Hi! I have a
Volvo Penta 4.3GXi-JF
engine with EVC generation C and have recently acquired the 4" b/w display and upgraded the system with a trip computer to see
fuel consumption.
Next step is to get the speed,
depth and temperature fed into the display as well and for that i was looking at something like the Airmar DST800 for NMEA2k and the
Volvo Penta NMEA2k adapter.
My question is though, will it
work? The official Volvo Penta site seems rather confusing, stating that the EVC-C display can only get speed information from VP's own multi
sensor (
https://www.volvopentashop.com/EPC/e...F20319%2F20338), while the page for the adapter states its only for reading
boat speed information into the EVC System, not
depth and temperature (
https://www.marinepartseurope.com/en...nmea-2000.aspx).
What should i believe? My local VP dealer is of no help - they are of the old generation, fixing screws and changing
oil but know nothing about
electronics.
Why can't product
sheets by 100% clear of what PGNs they are a capable of sending and retrieving?
