Engine pigtail for instruments (Gateway)

[kenyu73]

Anyone happen to know or have a pic of the engine pigtail? I'm assuming it would be the diagnostic hookup or similar?

Trying to see if one of the engine gateways sold by Yacht Devices would work.

Anyone see or know where this exists or if it does? Maybe around the engine? I guess this is the "digital" port for the Cummins motor.

J1708/J1587 system i think

Your 450 Cummins (6CTA) are mechanical diesels. They do not have electronic controls that would be accessible through an NMEA or other connection.

I did some digging and found this thread for mechanical diesels. It doesn't look like a cheap project. You're going to need to convert the analog data to digital for the network.
