Raymarine E70242 Yamaha Cable For COMMAND-LINK Plus

The Raymarine E70242 Yamaha Cable For COMMAND-LINK Plus is a purpose-built integration cable that bridges Yamaha outboard engines to Raymarine's advanced COMMAND-LINK Plus digital control system. Built for boaters who demand seamless communication between engine and navigation systems, this cable eliminates manual throttle and shift adjustments by enabling full electronic engine control from your helm station. Whether you're piloting a center console, cruiser, or sport boat equipped with compatible Yamaha power, this cable is essential for unlocking modern engine monitoring, synchronized multi-engine operation, and integrated autopilot functionality.

The E70242 cable implements COMMAND-LINK Plus protocol, Raymarine's proprietary digital network standard that transmits throttle commands, shift inputs, and real-time engine telemetry with precision and redundancy. This hardwired connection ensures low-latency response and eliminates the lag or signal dropout risks inherent to wireless systems—critical when maneuvering in tight docking situations or running in challenging offshore conditions. The cable assembly is engineered to withstand the vibration, moisture, and salt spray environments typical of marine engine compartments, with corrosion-resistant connectors and shielded conductors that maintain signal integrity over the cable's service life.

This cable is compatible exclusively with Yamaha outboard engines integrated into COMMAND-LINK Plus systems, making it a direct replacement for factory original equipment or retrofit installations on compatible vessels. Installation connects the engine's digital interface to your Raymarine display and control module, allowing synchronized throttle management across dual or triple-engine configurations. Anglers and cruising boaters will appreciate the reduced helm fatigue from electronic throttle control and the enhanced safety profile of centralized engine monitoring—fuel consumption, temperature, oil pressure, and RPM all visible at a glance. Weighing just 1 pound, the cable integrates cleanly into existing wiring harnesses without adding significant weight or clutter to the engine room.
