Yamaha Outboard Rigging Kit Twin 704 / CLS

Yamaha Outboard Rigging Kit Twin 704 / CLS

Yamaha Outboard Rigging Kit Twin 704 / CLS is the definitive "gold standard" setup for twin-engine installations, combining the classic, tactile reliability of the 704 mechanical binnacle with the cutting-edge intelligence of the CL5 touchscreen display.

Whether you are repowering a faithful cruiser or finishing a new build, this kit provides everything you need to command your twin Yamaha outboards with absolute confidence and style.

At the heart of this kit is the 704 Twin Top-Mount Binnacle. Renowned across the marine industry for its "bulletproof" build quality and smooth operation, it gives you the physical feedback that many experienced skippers prefer. Paired with the CL5 Colour Touchscreen, you get a "glass cockpit" feel that monitors every vital sign of your twin engines on a single, crisp 5-inch display.

This kit is designed for Yamaha’s mechanical-control EFI outboards (typically ranging from the F30 up to the F200). It simplifies your dash, replaces a clutter of old analogue dials with one sleek screen, and brings modern features like Trolling Speed Control and Trim Assist to your fingertips.

Yamaha Outboard Rigging Kit Twin 704 / CLS Key Features

• 704 Premium Twin Binnacle: Featuring a sleek, rounded ergonomic design with chrome accents. It provides effortless, one-handed control of throttle and shift for both engines simultaneously, or independent control for precise manoeuvring.
• CL5 High-Definition Touchscreen: A slim, low-profile 5-inch display that acts as the nerve centre of your boat. It monitors up to two outboards simultaneously, displaying RPM, fuel flow, engine temperature, and battery voltage in a clear, customisable format.
• Integrated Trim & Tilt Control: The binnacle handles feature thumb-operated switches, allowing you to trim both engines together or independently without ever moving your hand from the throttles.
• Advanced Engine Monitoring: The CL5 provides real-time alerts for low oil pressure, overheating, and water-in-fuel, ensuring you can act before a minor issue becomes a major problem.
• Trolling Speed Adjustment: Fine-tune your fishing presentation with the ability to adjust your trolling RPM in precise 50-RPM increments via the CL5 touchscreen.
• NMEA 2000® Compatible: The CL5 display can easily share data with your Garmin, Raymarine, or Simrad MFDs, allowing you to view engine data on your main navigation screens.
• Twin Ignition Security: Includes the genuine Yamaha twin-engine key switch panel with an integrated emergency stop lanyard for maximum safety and security.

What’s Included in theKit?

• • Yamaha 704 Twin Top-Mount Control Box (with integrated trim switches)
  • CL5 Digital Network Gauge Kit (including mounting hardware and cover)
  • Twin-Engine Ignition / Kill-Switch Panel
  • Multi-Hub Assembly & Pigtail Bus Harnesses
  • Speed & Temperature Sensors (where applicable)

While this kit is "plug-and-play" in terms of the digital network, the mechanical throttle and shift cables must be measured specifically for your hull. As a full-service boatyard, Morgan Marine can supply the correct Premium Power Matched cables and provide professional installation to ensure your shifting is as smooth as silk.

Yamaha Outboard Rigging Kit Twin 704 / CLS FAQs

Does "Mechanical" mean this kit is old technology?

Not at all! "Mechanical" simply refers to how the binnacle connects to your engines—using traditional stainless steel throttle and shift cables. Many offshore boaters prefer the 704 binnacle because it provides a tactile "click" you can feel when shifting. The CL5 display included in the kit is 100% digital, giving you the best of both worlds: rugged mechanical control and state-of-the-art engine monitoring.

Which twin Yamaha engines will this kit work with?

This kit is the perfect match for Yamaha's Mechanical EFI outboards (Electronic Fuel Injected engines that still use cables). This typically includes twin setups of the F70, F115, F130, F150, F175, and F200 (Mechanical models). It is not compatible with the "Digital Electronic Control" (DEC) engines like the F225 or XTO V8s.

What exactly does the CL5 display monitor for both engines?

The CL5 is a "glass cockpit" for your boat. On one single 5-inch touchscreen, you can see:

• • Synchronised RPM: Ensure both engines are running at the exact same speed.
  • Fuel Management: Combined fuel flow, economy (MPG/LPH), and total fuel remaining.
  • Vital Signs: Oil pressure, engine temperature, and battery voltage for both outboards simultaneously.
  • Maintenance Alerts: It tracks engine hours and notifies you when it’s time for a service at Morgan Marine!

Can I adjust my trolling speed with this kit?

Yes! Even though the throttles are mechanical, the CL5 display allows you to use Yamaha's Variable Trolling RPM feature. You can fine-tune your engine speed in 50-RPM increments directly through the touchscreen—ideal for perfect lure presentation when fishing.

Do I need to buy throttle cables separately?

Yes. Because every boat has a different distance from the helm to the transom, throttle and shift cables are not included in the standard kit. We recommend Yamaha Premium PowerMatched cables for the smoothest possible feel. If you give us a call with your boat's length, we can calculate the exact cable run you need.

Will the CL5 display talk to my Chartplotter?

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

Does the 704 binnacle allow for "Single Lever" operation?

The 704 Twin Binnacle features two separate levers, but they are designed to be gripped together with one hand. This allows you to accelerate or shift both engines at once with ease, or use them independently when you need to "twist" the boat into a tight berth in the marina.

How does the "Twin Ignition" panel work?

The kit includes a dedicated twin-engine ignition panel. It features two separate key switches (one for Port, one for Starboard) and a single emergency stop lanyard that will cut power to both engines instantly if needed. It’s a clean, professional-looking panel that replaces messy individual switches.
