Description
Our Better Connected™ Yamaha Command Link Fuel Tank & Speedo Cable provides the NMEA 0183 connections for speed from your fish finder / GPS puck / chart plotter to a Yamaha Command Link 6Y8 Series Speedometer (round or square version). Additionally, it also provides connection for fuel sender level display from up to two fuel tanks/sending units.
One would assume that if you have GPS speed on your NMEA 2000 network and that network is connected to the Yamaha 6Y8 Speedo, that speed would just display. Truth is, that is not how the 6Y8 Speedo works. The GPS signal for speed must come in on the 6 pin Yamaha Fuel Speedo Cable, not the 4 pin NMEA 2000 connector.
So, it’s important that you check if your fish finder / chart plotter / GPS puck has an NMEA 0183 output, before ordering just this cable. For example, many fish finders have blue and white wires in an extra cable. However, these color can vary widely from one manufacturer to the other. We’re always pleased to talk to customers if they are not certain about connections. Just give us a shout if you need information on compatibility.
If your fish finder does not provide an NMEA 0183 output, we can convert NMEA 2000 to NMEA 0183 for this Yamaha Fuel Speedo Cable with our Capn NMEA:

Our Commitment to Quality & Why it Matters
Connectors and connector pins in this cable assembly are from Japan, and are exactly the same OEM as your Yamaha speedometer. We never use knock off connector components in any of our cable assemblies. This means the connector components always mate properly with your speedometer. Not surprisingly, it also saves our manufacturing staff headaches with assembly, since all parts are to a tighter mechanical spec. This saves all of us money and headaches in the long run.
Also, connectors need to be sealed where they connect. Otherwise, moisture and contamination can build up, corroding the connectors on your existing wiring harnesses or devices. This is something we are very careful about, connector contamination lead to intermittent operation, and the need to either fix or replace the wiring devices or wiring. All of our cables create a perfect seal with the devices or wiring harnesses they mate with when installed. You will see that in all of our cables, appropriate blanking seals are used in unoccupied pin locations.
Manufactured in Canada using OEM Command Link connectors from Japan, and Canadian made 1426 and SAE graded, tinned wire in this cable. Made in house by our skilled staff using the very best tools. Final testing in Canada.
You cannot buy a better cable.
