Hi Dan,

The TAMD-63P uses J1708 to communicate engine data. You can use a Yacht Devices YDES-04N ( https://panbo.com/yacht-devices-j1708-engine-gateway-brings-data-from-older-engines-to-nmea-2000/ ) to convert from J1708 to NMEA 2000. But, be warned that the ECU on your engine doesn't have oil pressure data. So, if you want that data you will need to add a YDTA-01 to your setup and connect it to the analog oil pressure sender on your engine(s).

Edit: I'm not sure what was happening when I posted this information. The TAMD-63P (as well as the TAMD-41P) is a mechanical engine. It doesn't have a J1708 interface and hence, can't be used with the YDES-04 or any other J1708 or J1587 gateway. The KAD-44, KAD-300, TAMD73P, TAMD74P, and D12C-A EDC are all J1708 engines. My apologies for the bad information previously posted.

When I look at the wiring diagram for the TAMD63P I can’t see a diagnostics connector where the YDES-04 would connect? How can we tell if our engines are compatible - does it depend on model year maybe?

@blurt My apologies, I'd made a mistake in posting the 63P had a J1708 interface. I've corrected that above. You're correct that the 63P doesn't have the appropriate connector as it doesn't have an ECU.
