Product details

This bidirectional converter allows you to easily connect your NMEA0183 devices to your NMEA2000 network and vice versa. Support for many data outputs, such as: AIS, waypoints, routes and autopilot.
Baud rate is configurable from 300 to 115,200 baud for NMEA0183 connection and also allows you to easily use AIS transponders (38,400 baud) and PC adapters, in addition to the standard NMEA0183 devices. The default baud rate is 4,800 baud. It is not possible to define a separate baud rate for the input or output, the defined baud rate is set for the input & output in parallel.

The device can be configured and firmware updates downloaded using a microSD card slot. No special software is needed for this! Only a device (laptop, PC, smartphone), a microSD reader and a text editor are required.
During configuration, you can, for example, change the baud rate for AIS data to 38,400, 9,600 baud for Navtex data or for faster data transmission to up to 115,200 baud. Filters can also be set to block data sets that should not be rendered. There is a blacklist (block before rendering) and a whitelist function (only render these data sets).

Instructions for changing the baud rate:

Insert an empty Micro-SD card into the corresponding card slot of your computer.
Next step is to create a text file (TXT) and save it on the Micro-SD card. Do this as follows:
Open the editor. Depending on the Windows version, this can be carried out via the Start menu -> Windows Accessories.
Now enter the following line in the editor:

0183_SPEED=x

Where the x represents the respective baud rate.

For configuration with 4800 baud (e.g. for GPS, wind, depth or compass data) the command is as follows:
0183_SPEED=4800

For configuration with 38400 baud (e.g. for AIS data) the command is as follows:
0183_SPEED=38400
Now save the text file via "File -> Save" under the following names on the Micro-SD card
YDNG.TXT
Remove the Micro-SD card from the card slot of your computer and insert it into the Yacht Devices Converter. You can now use the Converter with the baud rate you have set.

Note: a second colour scheme has been used by the manufacturer since 2024. Unfortunately, the current scheme is still indicated on the housing label of the device. The old colour scheme #1 is used in the manual.

The conversion is as follows:

NMEA0183 Signal	RX+ (IN A)	RX- (IN B)	TX+ (OUT A)	TX- (OUT B)	GROUND
Colour scheme #1	YELLOW	BLUE	RED	BLACK	CLEAR
Colour scheme #2	YELLOW	GREEN	WHITE	BROWN	GREY

Technical specifications:

Connection: NMEA2000 Micro-C
Current consumption via the NMEA2000 network: 30 mA
Voltage range: 7-16 V
Cable length: 400 mm
Housing length without connections: 54 mm

Technical question

Ioannis C. | Jan 14, 2025

Hi, I want to connect an iCOM VHF radio IC-M330GE with NMEA183 to my already exist NMEA2000 network in my boat. Is YACHT DEVICES NMEA2000 to NMEA0183 converter (90291) suitable for that application that I want to do. Thank you in advance. Best regards, Ioannis

Answer from manufacturer

Andrew C. | Jan 15, 2025

Yes, YDEG-03 is suitable device for this task. Connection should be the following: VHF Brown TX- to YDNG-03 RX- (Blue|Green) VHF White TX+ to YDNG-03 RX+ (Yellow|Yellow) VHF Green RX- to YDNG-03 TX- (Black|Brown) VHF Yellow RX+ to YDNG-03 TX+ (Red|White) See color coding in product description above.

Technical question

Willem R. | Feb 14, 2024

Can I use the yacht device nmea 2000 to 0183 to connect my vulvan to my autohelm instruments st50 wind & log and st4000+autopilot? Can I use the yacht device to connect my vulcan to my ICm505 ? Regards

Answer from manufacturer

Andrew C. | Feb 14, 2024

Unfortunately, ST50 Wind instruments have no NMEA0183 interface ( only ST50+ TRIDATA REPEATER has it). I recommend to use YDNR-02 - it has Seatalk1 interface (so ST50 can be connected), and two 0183 bidirectional ports, where you can connect ST4000 and Icom505. Also it has WiFi interface, so you can control autopilot from your tablet or any marine application (like OpenCPN).
