I have a 1991 H 42 with a Yanmar 4JH2TE- great engine , running perfectly! I was wondering if anyone had gone to the trouble and expense of fitting an interface from engine to NEMA so that engine data can come up on the new MFD's ( I have a Raymarine E7D)- Noland offer a unit- just wondering if anyone has done this and find out whether they believe it was worth the expense and effort after doing it?? I have read it has worked very successfully on larger engines- particularly twin engine installations on larger power boats, but haven't seen evidence of anyone doing it on small singles.
getting engine data from old engines to new MFD's?

Marerton 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.
The EMS100 can also be used as part of a complete fuel computer. Simply connect the EMS100 together with the Maretron universal display (DSM200) and GPS antenna/receiver (GPS100) and you have a system capable of displaying gallons per hour and/or miles per gallon.
Monitors for following functions:
Tachometer
Engine Hours
Coolant Water Temperature
Engine Oil Pressure
Boost Pressure
Exhaust Gas Pressure
Fuel Rate Monitoring
Charging Voltage
Drive Trim
Fuel Filter Alarm
Boost Alarm
Coolant Water Level Alarm
Engine Oil Pressure Alarm
Exhaust (Salt Water Flow) Alarm
Coolant Water Temperature Alarm
The EMS100 currently supports these engines:
Yanmar GM Series
Yanmar YM Series
Yanmar JH Series
Yanmar LH Series
Yanmar LP Series
Yanmar LY Series

Your best route
They have N2K output, and easily integrates to the standard oil, temp, etc sensors.
Make sure your MFD has an engine display screen
I know the Raymarine E series does for sure
Go with Actisence.

I've done that. See previous thread http://forums.beneteau.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?p=1139332&highlight=joker460
Works great and all data now shows up on the chartplotter.
Throw a wifi interface into the mix and you can get the data anywhere on the boat.
I love gadgets:dance:
