About this app

Turn your Android device in to an electronic dashboard for your boat's NMEA2000 enabled outboard. Designed to work with Digital Yacht's iKommunicate Signal K Gateway, this app will receive engine data such as RPM, temperature, pressure, fuel flow, etc. and display it all in a modern electronic dashboard.

Most modern fuel injected Outboard engines have an electronic engine management system that either outputs the industry standard NMEA2000 data or can be fitted with the engine manufacturer's NMEA2000 gateway to make digital engine data available for other devices. Digital Yacht's iKommunicate gateway converts the NMEA2000 data in to Signal K the new open source marine data format that can be easily read by the latest generation of mobile and web apps.

There are hardly any apps that display engine data, particular for Android, so OutboardView should prove popular with anyone that has a larger Yamaha, Suzuki, Honda, Mercruiser, etc. fuel injected outboard. Before purchasing though, do make sure that your outboard can output NMEA2000, either natively or via the manufacturer's gateway and then once you have connected the engine to our iKommunicate gateway, you will be able to display all of the engine data on OutboardView.

Designed to work with single or dual engines, OutboardView will display RPM, Boatspeed, Temperature, Pressure, Alternator Voltage, Fuel Flow, Engine Tilt and Fuel Level (assuming all sensor measurements are available) on a single modern, electronic dashboard display with a mixture of analogue gauges and digital bar gauges. If two engines are detected, two pages one for Port and one for Starboard engine will be populated and you can quickly switch between them.

In addition OutboardView has an efficiency and trim page where once "on the plane" you can press the "Trim" button and then see in real time the effect any changes to the engine speed, tilt or balance of the boat makes to the fuel economy. A "trim" bar gauge, shows you if you are improving or reducing fuel efficiency while a digital readout gives you the actual MPG or Km/L value.

Features

- Displays all of the important engine data in real time
- RPM, Temperature, Pressure, Voltage, Flue Flow, Speed (Sensor or GPS), Engine Tilt and Fuel Level displays
- Instantaneous Fuel Efficiency display (MPG or KM/L)
- Trim feature to make it easy to balance and fine tune the boat for maximum efficiency

New features

1) Now supports two outboard engines
2) Automatically detects single or dual engine installations
3) Adjusts fuel consumption and efficiency calculations for both engines
4) Optimised screen layout for smaller resolutions (1024 x 768 minimum)
