A Complete NMEA 2000 Kit for 2006 (or newer) Yamaha Outboard Owners.

If your Yamaha Outboard is 25 HP+ and a 2006 model year (or newer), it’s most likely that this is the perfect NMEA bundle for you.

One happy customer sent us an email to tell us that he was done his installation in a half hour.  Our video explains how.

This bundle is perfect for almost any boat under 23 feet in length with the console midships.  If you have something else, or just are concerned about the length of the cables needed, just contact us and we’ll be more than happy to put together whatever your particular installation requires.

Golden Channels also offers cabling to connect NMEA 2000 Networks for fish finders into existing Yamaha Command Link equipped boats.

Better Connected™ NMEA Power Cable

By default, this kit comes with a fused power lead. This is used when you are either connecting power directly from your battery, or if you are taking power from a power lead going to other devices, like the power circuit going to your fish finder. If you have a fusebox on your boat, with open/empty/unused fuse locations and want to add the NMEA network fuse into the power circuit there, then you should choose the unfused power lead.

Better Connected™ NMEA Backbone Cable (10'/3m, 15'/5m 20'/7m)

This cable needs to span the distance from your stern electrical area to your helm electrical area. 10 foot is common for most midships console boats under 23' long. 15 feet is needed about 5% of the time. Tiller steered boats do not require any Backbone Cable. Tiller owners should set the quantity of this cable to 0, below.

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:
