Ultra 2 Echomaps giving alarms with Yamaha 250 SHO?

Featured Replies

I converted all my electronics and just got off the phone w/ Garmin tech.   They want me to call them from the boat.   Motors on NMEA network and shows up on the graph OK.   But on power up I get 5-6 engine alarms.

Has anyone encountered alarms after you power up and before you start the outboard?   They go away after acknowledged but nuisance.

 

When first connecting a Yamaha SHO via NMEA, these engine alarm popups are expected.  Although I don't recall the exact menu choices available on the alarm popups, you should be able to permanently dismiss them from the popup menu for each alarm.

I dismiss them (OK) per the pop-up, but the reappear.   How do you "permanently" delete them?   Going to be weeks before I'm back on the water due to cold weather.

Do I have to go into the Yamaha screen and look for/set something?   

It wants to "put full rpms" and I was reluctant when it was running, since I didn't know what that would do, but when off, I put in the rev limit.   But keeps coming back.  

I was trying to avoid trying to call tech support from the water to get this clear up to see if anyone else had.

Just a guess, but is it asking you to tell it what the max RPM for the motor is, so it can warn you if you exceed them?

I put the info in once already, so I don't know why it keeps asking?

I'll wait for warmer weather and finish my annual maintenance before I screw with it again...
