A few pointers for the SDS install. You have to be sure your.dbf files are in the following position. C:Users>Public>Public Documents>SDS>DB>Sys When you open the Sys file, you should see all your.dbf files. If you have any on the disc that are not in the sys file, copy them from the disc and paste into the sys file. If any of your switches at the top of the SDS page are grayed out, you are not properly connected. Most likely a bad install or some items (such as database files) did not transfer from the disc during the install, With most dongles, you must use Com1 or Com2.

You can change that in the Device Manager with the dongle plugged in to your computer. You don't have not be connected to the motor but must have the cable plugged in to the computer. Update Thanks Harper for the thoughts.

For me, I had the exact same experience with dongles & disks from 2 separate vendors and both tried on 2 different laptops (win 7 and 10). Both installed just fine, port set to com 1 and database files in the directory you mentioned. I even copied the dbf files into every subfolder of the SDS installation for good measure. I was confident my SDS software was communicating with the engine. I tried it with the key off and it gave me a screen to diagnose the communication problem.

With power on, I no longer received that screen but rather got the database error. The second SDS vendor told me my engine was too new for the database version.

My engine is indeed just a few months old. So I have no way to know if that is true. I took my boat to a suzuki service location for the 20 hour service and I asked for an SDS printout to confirm the hours for my records. They told me they can't print a report but they can read the hours. In the end, my service invoice had a statement something like 'Customer's motor has exactly 20 hours at the time of service'.

That is what my estimate was, but I have no way of knowing if their factory SDS was actually able to read the engine or they just added that because I asked them to. So that's the extent of what I can add. I know it doesn't help much. For me, I will keep looking for a change in database version and give it another go.

My boat doesn't have an hour meter so I was hopeful to use the SDS. HeyMikey1, if you have a tach, you have an hour meter. Suzi's give you hours in 10hr increments on the tach. Turn your key on but not to start the tach will jump up to an RPM for a few seconds after the initial beep then drop back to 0. If it jumps to say 1200rpm, you have 120hrs, 3100rpm = 310hrs etc. Can't remember what it does for over 600hrs but it does that too. I do have an SDS adapter for my DF140a but haven't tried it and boat is in storage.

They are simply an ELM327 style interface with a Suzy plug instead of a cars plug. Suzy's run OBDM which is the same as a modern cars OBD2 except 'marine'. While I haven't tried my SDS kit (ebay, russia I think) I can tell you with the ELM adapters I've used for cars, some are a prick for baud rate. If on the wrong port, you get com error, if on right port but wrong baud rate it knows it's connected so no com error but it can't read data so it hangs.
