ray18,

Interesting ... I would have expected that the CommandLink / CommandLink Plus busses to have required a termination plug at each end of the buss as do most CAN buss networks (ex. NMEA 2000, SeaTalkng, etc.). You may want to reach out to Yamaha to verify that your CommandLink / CommandLink Plus buss has been properly installed.

Q1. I found out if I touch "Settings" - boat details - identify engine - click yamaha and exit out of settings and click Yamaha app then it would work.
A1. This how the system intended to function. However, once Yamaha engines have been selected, it should not be necessary to perform this selection again prior to using the Yamaha app ... unless a Settings Reset, Factory Reset, or Power ON Factory Reset has been performed after having selected Yamaha engines.

Q2. Would dashboard app work without Yamaha app for my Yamaha 70 hp?
A2. I believe so. The Yamaha app provides a different engine interface and also supports some additional engine fault and maintenance data as well as engine tilt and fuel flow calibration.
