What do you need before you start?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Connecting a Honda outboard to NMEA 2000 is fairly easy as long as you use the right parts. You will need:<\/p>\n<h3>NMEA 2000 network parts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Honda compatible engine cable<\/li>\n<li>NMEA 2000 backbone cable<\/li>\n<li>T-connectors (2 pcs, one for the engine cable, one for the fishfinder)<\/li>\n<li>Terminators (2 pcs: one at each end)<\/li>\n<li>Power cable (for the NMEA 2000 network)<\/li>\n<li>Fishfinder\/display\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We have put these parts together into two starter kits depending on the size of your boat:<br \/>For larger boats, choose the <u><a href=\"\/en\/product\/nmea-2000-kaapelisarja-honda-yhteensopiva\/\">4 metre kit<\/a><\/u> <br \/>and for smaller boats the <u><a href=\"\/en\/product\/nmea-2000-kaapelisarja-honda-yhteensopiva\/\">2 metre kit<\/a>.<\/u><\/p>\n<p>If you already have a network, the Honda compatible 2 metre cable is available <u><a href=\"\/en\/product\/honda-nmea-2000-moottorikaapeli-2m\/\">here <\/a><\/u>and the 4 metre one <u><a href=\"\/en\/product\/nmea-2000-moottorikaapeli-honda-yhteensopiva-4m\/\">here<\/a><\/u>.<\/p>\n<p>The kits contain the parts listed above, and you need nothing else to bring engine data from your Honda outboard. Check compatibility! Compatible engines are listed at the bottom of this article.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Building the NMEA 2000 network <\/strong><br \/>Build the NMEA 2000 network according to the diagram:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connect the power tap to the battery via the main switch. Make sure the main switch is in the off position.<\/li>\n<li>Connect the T-connectors on both sides of the power cable.<\/li>\n<li>Connect the cable coming from the engine to one T-connector and the cable going to the fishfinder to the other.<\/li>\n<li>Attach the terminators to both ends of the T-connector row.\n<p>Notes on the power tap:<br \/> Run the cable to the 12V battery and make sure that the <strong>positive wire between the battery and the NMEA 2000 system goes through the main switch<\/strong>. If the NMEA 2000 system is incorrectly connected directly to the battery, it can draw power even when the devices are in standby. The main switch prevents flat battery problems. The power cable must include a fuse to protect the devices and the system. The Fimarin power tap and power cable come with a 5A fuse already fitted to protect the system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1507\" height=\"928\" src=\"https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-2.png 1507w, https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-2-300x185.png 300w, https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-2-1024x631.png 1024w, https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-2-768x473.png 768w, https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-2-18x12.png 18w, https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-2-600x369.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1507px) 100vw, 1507px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p><strong>3. <\/strong><strong>Connecting a Honda outboard to the NMEA 2000 network:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1. Open the engine cowling and locate the NMEA connector in the engine compartment. Check the connector location in your engine's owner's manual (BF40\/50D p. 22, DBF60A p. 17, BF80\/100A p. 19, BF80\/100Ak1 p. 18, BF115D p. 15)<br \/>2. Route the cable from the engine through the same grommet as the control cables.<br \/>4. Switch on the chartplotter\/fishfinder.<br \/>5. Switch on the engine ignition.<br \/>6. Check the NMEA 2000 settings in your chartplotter\/fishfinder. The menu path is slightly different for each fishfinder brand, so refer to your display's own manual if needed.<br \/>7. Check in the settings that the bus is working. Add engine data to the views you want.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"506\" src=\"https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-3.png 512w, https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-3-300x296.png 300w, https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-3-12x12.png 12w, https:\/\/fimarin.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/honda-peramoottorin-kytkeminen-kaikuluotainnayttoon-kuva-3-100x100.png 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Compatibility of the Fimarin Honda compatible NMEA 2000 cable with Honda outboards:<br \/>BF40D &#8211; from serial number BBDJ-1000001<br \/>BF50D &#8211; from serial number BBEJ-1000001<br \/>BF60A &#8211; from serial number BBFJ-1000050<br \/>BFP60A &#8211; from serial number BBFJ-8000007<br \/>BF75DK3 &#8211; from serial number BBAJ-1200001<br \/>BF90DK4 &#8211; from serial number BBCJ-1300001<br \/>BF100A &#8211; from serial number BBMS-1000001<br \/>BF115D &#8211; from serial number BBHJ-1000001<br \/>BF135A &#8211; from serial number BARJ-1301771<br \/>BF150A &#8211; from serial number BANJ-1304171<br \/>BF200AK1 &#8211; from serial number BAEJ-1600002<br \/>BF225AK1 &#8211; from serial number BAGJ-1600012<br \/>BF250A &#8211; from serial number BBJJ-1000001<br \/>BF200D &#8211; 250D &#8211; all<br \/>BF350A &#8211; all<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many boaters want to see important engine data directly on their fishfinder display: RPM, temperatures, voltage, fuel consumption and fault codes.
