Had the boat out for the first time with the TZT9, Navpilot and DFF3D. Note that the Navnet system is a combined MFD8/TZT9 and that when last run in the garage all sensors were recognized and set up in the MFD8 installation wizard.
Upon startup the MFD8 did not recognize the PG700 or Yamaha gateway. Went into the wizard and these sensors were not available as choices. Note that the Navpilot was seeing the PG700 just fine. Also note that I turn the DFF3D off when I run the wizard on the MFD8. So I exit the wizard and then run it again and on the second round still no sensors. On the third round with the wizard the sensors appeared, were configured, saved and exited. Why this happens is a mystery to me. And note that the MFD8 did this before the TZT and DFF3D were added to the network.
The MFD8 seemed happy on restart and I checked the connection diagram and everything was present, including the Yamaha N2K gateway. On the water yesterday there was no engine data displayed. The engine data has displayed fine in the past so I need help troubleshooting the engine data communication problem.
Next issue is in using the IF-NMEA2K2 to provide NMEA0183 data to my Yamaha Command Link Speed gauge. The data that I wish to provide to the Speed gauge is GPS-time, GPS-speed, SST and depth. In the past I used my NMEA0183 out from the MFD8 to provide this data and everything worked.
With the IF-NMEA2K2 I was not getting any depth data and the time data was UTC (I think) and was 5 hours later than Pacific time. The Speed gauge has no provision to correct the GPS time, it merely displays whatever data it receives. Can this be corrected? And why is the depth data not being provided?
