Description
Our Better Connected™ Yamaha/Lowrance/Garmin/Humminbird Complete NMEA Bundle is designed specifically for your boat, if you own:
- 2006 or newer Yamaha Outboard that is a 4 stroke, 25HP+ engine
- Lowrance (Elite or HDS series) OR:
- Garmin (GPSMAP or ECHOMAP series produced after 2015) fish finder OR:
- Humminbird (SOLIX or APEX series) fish finder.
- Simrad fish finder (except Cruise Series)
This contains absolutely everything you need to connect your fish finder to your engine.
If you have an older model of fish finder, and you are not certain if it supports NMEA 2000, please contact us with the make and model, and we can check for you if you are uncertain.

With this kit, you will see fuel consumption rate, oil pressure, engine temperature, RPM, alternator voltage, fuel pressure, water pressure, and engine hours.
You can actually change the trolling RPM of some engines. You need to add the Yamaha digital tach and our NMEA cable for it, on some models. Please check with us for details.
Your new NMEA network is also an essential part of your trolling motors auto pilot capability with your fish finder.
Fish Finder “Complications”
- Humminbird Helix series requires you to buy at least one, and sometimes two, additional, proprietary cables to connect the NMEA capability to the NMEA Network. We have a specific kit for the Helix series that helps you choose which cables you need. See our Yamaha Humminbird Helix Kit.
- Sorry, the Lowrance Hook Series, and most of the smaller Garmin fish finders do not have NMEA networking.
- SIMRAD Cruise Series is not NMEA capable.
- Please contact us directly if you are using one of the following discontinued Garmin fish finders: echoMAP CHIRP 52cv, echoMAP CHIRP 52dv, echoMAP CHIRP 53cv, echoMAP CHIRP 53dv, echoMAP CHIRP 54cv, echoMAP CHIRP 54dv, echoMAP CHIRP 55cv, echoMAP CHIRP 55dv, ECHOMAP Plus 62cv, ECHOMAP Plus 64cv and ECHOMAP Plus 65cv. These models require an adapter cable that was included with the product. If you no longer have this cable, this kit will additionally require Garmin PN 010-12445-10. Since this is a proprietary Garmin cable, we do not stock it.
Future Expandability
You can also grow the system by adding other devices later as you want. The Better Connected™ Yamaha/Lowrance/Garmin/Humminbird Complete NMEA Bundle can be expanded later. You can add the Yamaha Digital Command Link style gauges, for example:
Better Connected™ Yamaha CommandLink style Tachometer to NMEA Network Cable
Better Connected™ Yamaha CommandLink Digital Gauge set to NMEA Network Cable Kit
Finally, we love talking outboards, fish finders, and networking. If you need help, please drop us a line:
