Rev counter into Raymarine e95 ?

[strudders]

My rev counter is hard to see from where I helm, and as I have a new e95 at the helm, I understand that I can feed in engine data and display this. I have googled around and can't find any information on what transducers to get / how to wire up etc. Does anyone have any experience or information on this? I have a Yanmar 50HP 4-JH2-E.

Thanks

£370 or thereabouts, I would love one at half the price.

How about a NoLand, last one I bought was about $300 delivered and it gives most resistive engine sensor info converted as well as various tacho types. Only drawback is a small amout of set up required. Also you should be able to pick up an Actisense EMU1 for a gnat's under £300.

David, that is dearer than the Maretron inc the T splitter and drop cable?

Last Mari EMS100 I saw was close to $450 + shipping, anyway over $150 more than the NoLand like for like and with no shipping.

But the Maretron comes with the hook in actual matched plugs for the engine harness you have? My Yanmar 3YM30 is listed.


EMS100 - NMEA 2000® Engine Monitoring System

Maretron's EMS100 plugs directly into engine wiring harnesses and converts analog signals such as water temperature and oil pressure to the new marine digital interface (NMEA 2000®). Critical engine data is then distributed throughout the vessel over a single cable where it can be monitored by any NMEA 2000® compatible display. All the information you need is available anywhere and everywhere you need it.

The EMS100 is compatible with existing instrument panels and key switches so you don't need to remove them while upgrading to newer digital technology. For new installations, the EMS100 and a compatible NMEA 2000® display can replace the traditional analog instrument panel.

No need for a PC interface to setup either.

Indeed, but the NoLand just cables into the back of your existing instruments so no need to even go near the dirty bit and is a lot less money at $300 (£200 ish), not saying Maretron is not good value, and probably better quality than the NoLand but a lot more money and from memory (though I am unsure) you lose the use of some existing instrumentation.

Maretron guff says you can do without the instrument panel on a new installation. Slightly different....

As I said, from actual memory of fitting one there was some loss of other readout, maybe they have changed. Anyway, the main point (this being PBO and all l) is the NoLand is only a little over half the price

I fitted a maretron to my perkins 4108. It was sold under the morse brand at the time, about 3 years ago, not sure what the situation is now. I needed to configure the unit with a software package and even being in IT It was far from straightforward. Mine feeds a stand alone engine monitoring panel graphic display but will also feed the raymarine display.
