    Displays are model I5601E, Rev 3.00p & s.
    The displays are reporting from a pair of 6BY260-A2.45 mains. Serial numbers 0g86026 & 053g026.

    Owner wants 1/10th hour engine displayed.
    Were trying to make that happen.

    The displays, after they roll 1000 hours do not show the 1/10th hour data anymore. Mastry reports the 1/10 hour data is in the ECU but not sure if it would transmit to any other display other than their diagnostic console. They confirmed their prefered display (I5061E) only shows 4 digits.

    Is anybody using the Faria (SmartCraft cap) displays? 5 digit hour data?
    Anybody using CanBus/NMEA2000/RayMarine Ethernet (Raymarine ECI100) and getting hour data on any other devices/displays/computers?
    Is anybody using anything on the 6BY showing 5 digits of hours on anything?

    Good Luck, The Yanmar Bus is well known for not wanting to talk with anything else particularly Raymarine products.

    I know of a couple of very high end luxury tenders that were delivered without the twin 6LP Engines supplying anything at all to the Raytheon system in spite of much money buying things to convert/subvert signals and time.

    The Raymarine web brochure does state the ECI100 will talk to the 6BYs, but I have also heard warnings like yours. I'm in no hurry to propose an expensive experiment that may not work.

    I have shot the guy who was PM on that build a message to see if he was still involved and what the outcome/fix if any was.
