I picked up a used 2012 Yamaha F250XCA 4.2L four stroke for my Parker and and am in the process of installing the new DEC command link controls. I expect to have everything wired up next weekend (I hope) and have a couple of questions for those of you who may have had some experience replacing the old manual controls/gauges with the DEC command link controls/gauges.
My control kit came with the 6YC multi-function gauge. This is the square gauge that takes place of all of the old, separate tach, speed, fuel management gauges. I have a question about how to calibrate the unit to know what my fuel tank capacity is. The instructions show an option for a single point calibration as well as a multi-point calibration. In both instances, the instructions say to run your fuel tank dry, then program the unit to perform the calibration of choice. Then fill your tank and you are good to go. I have about 120 gallons of gas in my tank and have no intention of draining this for the purpose of calibrating a fuel gauge. Can I choose the single point calibration, then program the unit to reflect the 155 gallon capacity of my tank when full-----then fill my tank? This is sort of how I used to initially set up my old flowscan units on older boats. I never ran the tank dry to perform the initial set-up.
If I can do this as described above, then starting with a full tank of fuel, I should be able to then run about 50 or a 100 gallons of fuel out and refill the tank. Then compare the actual amount of gas it took to fill the tank to how much the gauge said I burned. Does anybody know if I can do this with the 6YC command link gauge?
Also.......not related to the fuel question posed up above. Once I get all of my new command link stuff wired and plumbed to my new (used) motor, someone has told me that I then have to have Yamaha program my new command link gauge to 'talk' to my engine before it will even turn over. Ugh. Does anybody know about this process? Is this something that has to be done? Can I do it myself? Is the software and computer to engine harness available?
I am too used to the old, non DEC engines. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Engine data that can be displayed

Using the ECI-100, it's possible to connect selected Volvo Penta engine* Electronic Vessel Control (EVC) Systems.

By doing so it is possible to display the following engine data on a connected Raymarine multifunction display, and access full autopilot steering control to an IPS or Aquamatic system. Check compatible engines

Engine Speed (RPM)
Engine Hours
Engine Oil Temperature**
Engine Coolant Temperature**
Engine Oil Pressure**

Connecting your ECI-100

Connection of your ECI-100 to the Volvo Penta engine* EVC System couldn't be simpler. Depending on the age of your engine, and type of installation, Raymarine have provided 2 cabling solutions:

Newer Volvo Penta engine* EVC Systems - with an available multi-link hub

For new and recent Volvo Penta engine* EVC systems, a multi-link hub should be available. This will have 6 connections, 1 of which must be available in order to connect your ECI-100.

For this connection, you will need the Raymarine Cable Link for use with Volvo Penta* Engine (Raymarine Part Number: E70240). This cable is connected between the DeviceNet connector of the ECI-100, and the available socket on the multi-link hub for use with Volvo Penta engines*.

If a Volvo Penta engine* IPS or Aquamatic steering system is fitted, then connecting an EV-2 as shown in the diagram below will give full autopilot steering control.

For engine data only, the connection between ECI-100 and Volvo Penta engine* EVC system is identical (as shown in the diagram below) but fitting the Raymarine EV-2 is not required.

EV-2 is connected to the Raymarine backbone via a SeaTalk^ng spur cable (white SeaTalk^ng plug on EV-2 to be used).

Number	Description
1	SeaTalk^ng spur cable between the SeaTalk^ng backbone and the EV2's SeaTalk^ng connector.
2	ECI-100 unit
3	ST^ng network power supply (12 V dc)
4	EV-2 - Evolution™ Autopilot
5	Raymarine Cable Link for use with Volvo Penta engines* (E70240)
6	System Bus for use with Volvo Penta engines*
7	Multi-Link Hub for use with Volvo Penta engines*

Older Volvo Penta engine* EVC Systems - where no multi-link hub is available

For older Volvo Penta engine* EVC systems where no multi-link hub is available, it is necessary to use the E70240 Raymarine Cable Link for use with Volvo Penta* in conjunction with a Y-splitter cable (E70241). This connects into the system as per the diagram.

Connecting the cables as per the diagram below will allow the ECI-100 to interface between the Volvo Penta engine* EVC data bus, and the Raymarine navigation ST^ng bus.

If a Volvo Penta engine* IPS or Aquamatic steering system is fitted, then connecting a Raymarine EV-2 as shown in the diagram below will give full autopilot steering control.

For engine data only, the connection between ECI-100 and Volvo Penta engine* EVC system is identical (as shown in the diagram) but fitting the Raymarine EV-2 is not required.

Compatible Volvo* Systems

Your ECI-100 connects to the Volvo Penta engine* EVC system, as shown in the diagrams above.

The ECI-100 is compatible with the following Volvo Penta engine* EVC systems:

These Volvo Penta engine* EVC systems have the ability to display engine data on Raymarine’s latest generation of multifunction displays using the ECI-100.

What’s more, when an IPS or Aquamatic system is fitted with one of the compatible EVC systems, the ECI-100 enables Raymarine’s Evolution 9-axis sensor and adaptive autopilot full control of drive-by-wire steering without the need for a proprietary autopilot gateway.

Shown below are Volvo Penta* engines which may have a compatible EVC system fitted.
