Yamaha Outboard Rigging Kit 704 / CLS FAQs

Which Yamaha engines are compatible with this kit?

This kit is specifically designed for Yamaha’s mechanical-control EFI outboards. Generally, this covers models from the F30 right up to the F200.

Please note: This kit is not compatible with Drive-by-Wire (Digital Electronic Control) engines like the F225 V6 or the XTO V8 series. If you aren't sure which control type your engine uses, just give us a ring at the boatyard with your engine’s serial number!

What kind of information does the CL5 display show?

Think of the CL5 as the nerve centre of your boat. It replaces a whole dash full of old analogue dials with one crisp screen. It monitors:

• • Vital Signs: Engine RPM, trim position, oil pressure, and engine temperature.
  • Fuel Management: Fuel flow, fuel consumption, and remaining fuel volume.
  • Battery Status: Voltage levels for both your main and sub-batteries.
  • Maintenance: It tracks engine hours and provides service reminders so you never miss a check-up.

Can I use this kit if I have twin engines?

Yes! We offer this kit in both Single and Twin engine configurations. The Twin kit includes the dual-handle 704 binnacle and a single CL5 screen that can monitor both outboards simultaneously, keeping your dashboard clean and uncluttered.

Does the kit include the throttle and shift cables?

No, the remote control cables (throttle/shift) are sold separately. This is because every boat requires a different length. When you're ready to buy, measure the distance from your control box to the engine, and we can supply the correct genuine Yamaha cables to match.

Can I adjust my trolling speed with this setup?

Yes, and it’s a fantastic feature for our local anglers. Even though the 704 binnacle is mechanical, the CL5 display allows you to use Yamaha’s Variable Trolling RPM function. You can fine-tune your engine speed in precise 50-RPM increments directly through the touchscreen.

Will the CL5 display work with my existing Chartplotter?

It certainly will. The CL5 is NMEA 2000® compatible. By using a simple gateway cable, you can "bridge" your Yamaha engine data over to your Garmin, Raymarine, or Simrad MFD, allowing you to see your engine data on your primary navigation screen.

How difficult is the installation?

The kit is designed as a "plug-and-play" system for the digital network side of things. However, because it involves critical throttle and shift adjustments, we always recommend professional installation. If you're local to Brightlingsea, our workshop team here at Morgan Marine can handle the full installation and configuration for you.
