Customer Question

I have a 2016...

I have a 2016 twin Yamaha 200 was playing with the display and now can only see one engine function. Can’t get back to see both engines on the screen.

Mechanic's Assistant: When did you last clean or perform maintenance on your Yamaha engine? How old is it?

50hrs

Mechanic's Assistant: How long has this been going on with your Yamaha engine? What have you tried so far?

Just happen still playing with the display but only one motor on screen

Mechanic's Assistant: Is there anything else the Engine Expert should know before I connect you? Rest assured that they'll be able to help you.

The motor that does not appear on screen stats fine but no display

Hello. I'm Captain Nick. May I ask who I have the pleasure of speaking with today?---

Marine Mechanic: Captain Nick, Boat Enthusiast replied 1 month ago

The twin engine information display issue could be due to an accidental change of settings, a software glitch, or even a hardware problem

If your Yamaha model supports software updates, it might be a good idea to check if there's a newer version available. Updates can often fix bugs and improve overall performance.

Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot:

Check the Display Settings: Many Yamaha digital displays have settings that allow you to choose between viewing single or multiple engine data. Go through your display settings carefully and see if there's an option to toggle between single and twin engine view.
Power Cycling: Turn off the ignition completely, wait for a minute or two, then turn it back on. This might reset the display settings.
Hard Reset: Refer to your Yamaha owner's manual for instructions on how to perform a hard reset on your display. This typically involves holding down certain buttons for a specific duration. Please note that a hard reset might erase any custom settings, so use this as a last resort
