Connecting Yamaha F115B to Garmin Plotter (2019 year)

[picardy]

Hi all. I have recently purchased a 2019 Rib with a Yamaha F115B engine and the engine data is not displaying on the Garmin ECHOMAP plotter engine screens.

The plotter does not have J1939 input so am assuming that I'd need to create a NMEA2000 network which I am happy to do as the boat also has a VHF, depth etc, My question is, assuming I can connect from the Yamaha Hub what cable do I need to connect between the NMEA 2000 and the Yamaha Hub and if this is the right route to take, will it all just plug and play once the NMEA 2000 network has been created?

Many thanks

If you click on the 'Learn more' button in the 'A choice of connections' section at the link below...

Engine Integrations for Yamaha® Engines | Garmin

Then expand the section labeled 'Base Yamaha® Support - NMEA 2000 Integration Only' you should find the same info (as Paul Rainbow just mentioned!) although it does mention the Yamaha 6YG gateway device.

Great thank you both!

Sorry just one more question. Is the Yamaha Command Link which I have already installed (see photo) an NMEA 2000 network itself or do I need to install a NMEA 2000 network to then connect this Yamaha Hub into that new NMEA network?
ie is what I need simply a cable like this CIDRAM or would I need a NMEA 2000 network for this to work?
