Yamaha Outboard Rigging Kit Twin 6X9 Top SBW
Yamaha Outboard Rigging Kit Twin 6X9 Top SBW are a comprehensive package of genuine Yamaha parts for rigging a twin-engine boat with the modern Steer-by-Wire (SBW) and Digital Electronic Control (DEC) systems.
Yamaha Outboard Rigging Kit Twin 6X9 Top SBW Key Features
- Twin: Indicates the kit is configured for a dual-engine installation.
- 6X9: Refers to the specific series or model of the control box and other components.
- Top: Specifies a top-mount (binnacle) control box style, designed to be installed on top of the boat's console.
- SBW: Stands for Steer-by-Wire, meaning it is designed for use with compatible engines that feature Yamaha's integrated Digital Electric Steering (DES) system, which eliminates traditional mechanical steering cables.
- DEC (Digital Electronic Control): The system uses electronic signals for throttle and shift functions (also known as Drive-by-Wire), providing smooth and precise operation without mechanical cables.
- 6X9 Twin DEC Top Mount Control Box: The primary helm control for managing both engines' electronic throttle and shifting.
- CL5 Instrument Kit: A multi-function display (gauge) for monitoring crucial engine data, diagnostics, and performance metrics.
- 6X9 EKS Ignition Switch: The electronic key switch assembly used for starting the engines.
- 8M Main Harness and 10M Main Harness: The primary wiring harnesses for connecting all the major components of the system.
- 6X9 Helm Unit: A necessary part of the Steer-by-Wire system installed near the helm.
- 6X9 Helm Harness: Specific wiring dedicated to connecting the helm unit to the rest of the network.
NOTE: This kit is only compatible with specific, newer Yamaha outboard engines that are designed for drive-by-wire and integrated digital electric steering.
Yamaha Outboard Rigging Kit Twin 6X9 Top SBW FAQs
- What does "SBW" mean? SBW stands for Steer By Wire, which indicates a digital electric steering system. This differs from traditional mechanical or hydraulic steering and is part of Yamaha's modern digital rigging solutions, often integrated with the Helm Master EX system.
- Which outboards is this kit compatible with? This kit is designed for digital electric steering (DES) compatible outboards, typically those from the 2.8L F150G up to the XTO Offshore engines. The system requires engines designed for digital electronic control (DEC).
- Can I install the kit myself? Yamaha strongly recommends that all installation and rigging work be carried out by an Authorized Yamaha Dealer. The process involves complex electrical and mechanical procedures, and improper installation could lead to unsafe operation or damage to the equipment.
- Are there options for different control box mounting? Yes, while this specific kit specifies a top-mount (binnacle) control box, Yamaha also offers rigging components for flush-mount installations for multi-engine applications.
- What maintenance is required for the system? Maintenance typically involves standard outboard service intervals, propeller checks (potentially using Yamaha's Shift Dampener System (SDS) propellers to reduce shift noise) and ensuring all connections are secure. The rigging itself is generally durable and corrosion-resistant
