Yanmar releases next-gen digital engine displays
New screens will integrate fully with glass cockpits or provide real-time updates on engine statusYanmar has introduced a new-generation colour multifunction display and switch panel display suited to a range of yachts, catamarans, motorboats and rigid inflatable boats.
“Featuring a low-profile glass helm design and a 4.1-inch full-colour screen, the multipurpose Yanmar YD42 reads and displays Yanmar engine alarm and diagnostic codes,” the engine maker said.

“Users can also view additional information from engine speed and load, oil pressure and coolant temperature, to wind, speed, depth and AIS data.
“Supporting eight languages, the YD42 is compatible with a wide range of NMEA 2000 devices and allows engine data to be easily transmitted to other multifunction displays. Its data screens are easy to configure based on preference.”
The unit’s screen has a 170-degree range of visibility, and uses reflected sunlight to enhance the display. It is also a front-mount unit meaning it needs no access to the back of the panel or the console.
The YD25 switch panel display also makes its debut. Yanmar said as well as engine start/stop functionality, the new compact unit shows all Yanmar engine data, alarms and diagnostic codes, and also integrates with multifunction displays and glass helm systems.
“Intuitive data screen selection keys allow viewing of information including engine speed, engine load, oil pressure and coolant temperature on four customisable screens,” Yanmar said.
“Ideal for boats with limited dashboard space, the YD25 is contained in a weather-resistant housing, with waterproof silicone keys.”
The monochrome 2.5-inch screen has a viewing angle of 80 degrees.
“The YD25 is an exceptionally versatile solution and a great alternative to the YANMAR A15, B25 and C35 panels,” Yanmar Marine International marketing manager Sander Gesink said.
“Used either as a standalone display instrument or integrated with other multifunction displays, it is suitable for sailboats, catamarans, motorboats, RIBs and sloops.
“Both the YD42 and YD25 offer a high level of functionality, but are also sleek and modern in appearance to match current multifunction display designs, and are easy to install and use,” Gesink said.
“We are confident that they will greatly enhance the boating experience for our customers.”
