My local Honda Marine dealer says they have not come across this before but will look into it. I've spoken to Honda UK who have just advised to talk to a dealer. Of course, I could just splice the connector with bullet connectors and get the job done but I'd rather not molest an engine which is in top notch condition. In both versions, the wires appear to go to the same CAN bus connections at the ECU, just the terminating connector is different.
#Lowrance nmea 2000 wiring diagram manual#
Looking at the Honda owners manual there are four versions of the wiring diagram three of these show a black connector and the fourth shows a blue connector such as I have. The connector on the lead is black and the connector on the engine is blue - both 6 contact connectors. They are quite similar connectors and the number of contacts and wire colours are the same but the lead has a female socket and so does the engine. However, when trying to connect it to my engine the connector plug does not fit. It is the same part number as Honda and looking at the images from the Honda Marine website, it looks identical to the cable they sell. I've obtained the engine interface lead via Lowrance and have checked it is the correct part as supplied by Honda. Multipoint connection requires use of NEP-1 type switch. There are 3 networks in the HDS system: Ethernet high speed point-to-point. I found the diagrams online and modified them to help you during. I have a 2008 Honda BF50D outboard and a Lowrance HDS5 Gen2 GPS which I would like to connect via NMEA2000. Below are a couple diagrams of a Lowrance NMEA Network.

Hi all, I'm wondering if any of you can help in connecting my outboard to my HDS unit so I can monitor the engine using the digital gauge set up.
