IV.1.1 Connection to EFI Engines (Gasoline, 2004-2005)
Only engines equipped with an MEFI4B controller and later are supported (for example, 8.1 Gi-E,
8.1 OSi-A, 8.1 Gi-EF, 8.1 GXi-D, 8.1 GXi-E and many other). An adaptor cable for the Marine
Data Link Connector is required (available in accessories on the ordering page). The cable has both male
and female connectors (Y-connector), so you can use diagnostics equipment with the Gateway connected.
Figure 1. Marine Data Link Connector (with dust cap removed)
Note that ten wires must be connected to the Marine Data Link Connector from the engine side. Otherwise,
it means that your engine is equipped with an older MEFI version (MEFI3, MEFI4) which is not compatible
with the Device.
To get engine tilt/trim data, please, set MEFI4B setting to ON (see V.36). To calibrate tilt/trim settings,
see V.37-39.
Note: you can use the supplied 6-pin plug as a dust cap for the unused Device connector.
