Older Engine With New Garmin Engine Management System
I have a older boat , before the digital systems , big blocks no computers, carbs all old school style.I want to install a garmin touch gps scren and I want to see all the details of the engines rpm, water temperature oil pressure etc but my boat mechanic says that the boat is too old and it has a analog type system.I want to see if there is a way to bridge the barrier and use some converter to get the older analog system to work with the digital inputs needed by the garmin system.NMEA 2000 ????

you will need to contact Noland engineering, order 2 of their converters which take analog signals and convert to nmea2000....
Kidturbo does have converters also but are for digital to digital....

Yes I think you win the golden ticket to Charlies chocolate factory.
Now I just have to see the price of these boxes
Sad that people installing gps units do not even know about this....
