Not that I have heard. The last discussion on this (a long time ago) ended up that Yamaha's engine control system is proprietary and doesn't interface/interact with NEMA.
I did a search and found this link talking about connecting a Garmin to a Yamaha outboard motor with success. I'm just not sure that its that easy with the jetboat. I hope so though. That would be really slick!
Yeah I have read several articles, but none specific to 190 FSH (mostly for outboards), I will continue to dig and see what I can find., but thanks for the info, I will post anything I find. By the way @spaz944 I'm coming to Cape Coral the end of April, one of the reasons I purchased my boat. Maybe I will see you around?
Does anyone with a networking or computer background know what language the yamaha sensors use to relay data? After speaking with a Navico / Simrad / Lowrance rep he said ask Yamaha. Yamaha doesn't return calls with answers. How do these companies work together when no one knows anything about the others products?
Wahoo!!! Just had my GO7 XSE w/ Totalscan transducer installed this past weekend! Perfect unit for this type of boat and waters I'm traveling in. Looking to do some additional mods, probably swapping out radio with the Simrads sonichub2 unit and putting in vhf where radio is now. Also trying to find a way of connecting the 1.8L Yamaha marine engines CPU to the GO7 via nmea 2000 but I don't think it's possible. Still researching and will confirm back if I find anything new out.

I I was wondering if you would be able to share some photos of your Simrad G07 xse installation. I just purchased the same unit (Simarad GO7 xse) from West Marine and am looking for the some options to install it on my 2017 Yamaha FSH 190. From your console picture that you posted, it appears that you and I have the same make model of boat. My main concern is how best to mount the transducer on a boat with a stepped hull. Currently looking at the ride plate as an option but I am concerned that the keel may block some of the side scan imaging. Any advice, how to's or photos that you are able to share would be greatly appreciated...
Love it. My wife always wants me to turn on the fish ID feature. Then she'll want to fish on the port side -- "because that's the side the fish are swimming toward."
