Raymarine ECI-100 Universal Engine & Control Interface Product Description
ECI-100 Universal Engine and Control InterfaceImagine effortlessly monitoring your boat's engine performance while your Raymarine autopilot handles steering with precision—all from one intuitive touchscreen. The ECI-100 steps in as the smart bridge, translating complex engine signals into clear, actionable data for your navigation system. Boaters upgrading to modern multifunction displays or seeking drive-by-wire control without a tangle of gateways find this compact device transforms their helm setup.
Whether you're chasing offshore adventures or managing a charter fleet, reliable engine integration keeps you focused on the horizon. Skip the frustration of mismatched protocols; this interface speaks the language of leading engine makers and Raymarine's ecosystem seamlessly.
Why Choose the ECI-100 for Your Vessel?
Crafted for simplicity in a world of marine electronics complexity, the ECI-100 eliminates multiple adapters by serving as a universal hub. It pulls vital engine metrics directly to your displays, enabling custom dashboards that track everything from RPM to fuel efficiency in real-time.
- One-Stop Connectivity: Single cable links engine data buses to autopilot controls, reducing wiring clutter and install time.
- Drive-by-Wire Ready: Pairs perfectly with adaptive 9-axis autopilots, delivering responsive steering without proprietary extras.
- Versatile Display Options: Overlay engine stats with radar echoes, sonar charts, and charts on screens running the latest software— or mirror to your mobile device for remote checks.
- Customizable Insights: Tailor views for fuel economy trends, maintenance alerts, or performance peaks to match your boating style.
- Boat-Agnostic Fit: Scales from compact day boats to larger yachts, making integration straightforward regardless of hull size.
Comprehensive Engine Monitoring at Your Fingertips
The ECI-100 unlocks a wealth of parameters from your engine's CAN bus, far beyond basic tachometers. It calculates trip fuel usage on the fly, helping optimize long passages or track consumption patterns for cost savings.
Key data streams include:
- Engine RPM and total hours for precise maintenance scheduling.
- Temperatures for oil, coolant, boost, and transmission to spot issues early.
- Pressures across oil, coolant, transmission, and fuel systems.
- Fuel levels, rates, alternator output, battery voltage, torque, load percentage, and gear position.
This depth of info empowers proactive decisions, like throttling back during high-load climbs to preserve engine life.
Effortless Compatibility with Top Engines
Designed around industry-standard protocols like NMEA 2000 and SAE J1939, it taps into data from prominent manufacturers without custom hacks. Connect via DeviceNet to engine-specific wiring, then route to your network through familiar cabling systems.
Independent power for isolated ports means no interference between nav gear and propulsion electronics—galvanic isolation guards against noise and ground loops common in wet environments.
Pro tip: For best results, verify your engine's CAN setup outputs standard signals; most modern diesels and outboards do out of the box.

Quick-Start Installation Insights
Its plug-and-play design shines during setup: locate your engine's CAN port, attach the DeviceNet connector, power independently, and spur into your backbone. No special tools needed beyond standard crimpers. Test data flow on a display before full deployment to confirm parameters populate correctly.
Common wins: Mount in dry console spots for longevity; use terminators on the network spine to avoid dropouts.
