Functionality

The NMEA 2000 Starter Kit simplifies the process of setting up a fundamental NMEA 2000 network on your boat. Once this core network is established, future expansion becomes effortless, thanks to the cross-compatibility of all NMEA 2000 components. Also essentially, everything necessary to initiate your NMEA 2000 network is included within the package.

Package Contents

The package comprises:

• An NMEA 2000 drop cable (2.0 meters / 6.56 feet)
• A backbone cable (6.0 meters / 19.69 feet)
• A power cable (2.0 meters / 6.56 feet)
• Two T-connectors (one with 1 Port and one with 2 Ports)
• Both male and female terminator connectors

Moreover, the interface cable for connecting the Honda Engine to the NMEA 2000 network enables you to view real-time engine parameters on the screen of your chartplotter sounder. Notably, this connection does not require CommandLink or CommandLink Plus systems.

Engine Parameter Access

So depending on the engine model, you can access a variety of information, including:

• Speed
• Voltage
• Operating hours
• Temperature
• Flow rate
• Oil pressure
• And various additional service data

So to connect a Honda motor to NMEA, simply use a T-connector (included) to connect one end of the cable to the main NMEA network, and then connect the other end of the cable to the motor using the provided special connector.
