Great question. The HDS does require its own power source. There are units that will power from the NMEA 2000 backbone but most MFD displays require their own power.
Can you create a Garmin T-Connector backbone at the helm where the connectors will be exposed to weather? I.E., are they weatherproof or does the backbone need to be in a weather-protected space?
Hi Scott. Great explanation of how to build a NMEA 2000 network. How would I use the Furuno BBWGPS NavNet GPS Receiver to provide data directly to my PC and MaxSea Time Zero?
I am installing a lowrance hds7 Gen 2 Touch GPS to a Motor guide XI5 trolling motor via the nmea 2000 do I need to run extra wires or is there a certain connector that I have to order
Great video !!! I am going to install this NMEA 2000 system on my bass boat that has an HDS 8 Gen2 at the console and an HDS7 Gen 2 on the front deck. Is the Lowrance system as easy as this Garmin ? Also would you suggest the Point 1 antenna or the LGC 4000 ? Thanks, Bill
Good info for folks just starting up. Works FLAWLESSLY with most any later model Garmin GPS map plotter head/mfd. Don't really understand why it couldn't be USB or cat 5 cable, but I get that it's cleaner and a single power cord
Question: if I have a Lowarnce HDS-8 on the consol, can I use a Garmin on the front deck? If I understand the video, as long as I have a separate power source for the Garmin, the unit will work as long as I use the back-bone.
I understand that there is a connection on the Yamaha 150 4 stoke that will link to this NMEA2000 system. I have the exact configuration, but would like to see the data on my Garmin 740s. Some research indicates I need a Garmin Yamaha engine interface cable. This cable should feed all the data I need. However there is some controversy as to whether or not fuel consumption is part of this data stream. Would I need to add the Garmin GFS 10 fuel sensor?
You need a NMEA 2000 starter kit and a cable that will send the info from the motor to the network. Lowrance has one for yamaha for example. 120-37 is the number.
What kind of equipment do I need too purchase for my HDS-8 GENERATION 1 to get the satilite to operate and to get the maxim capabilities with out breaking me? Thank u very much! I’ve bought the. Cable kit
Thank you. I sure wish the NMEA powered everything. I have a 21 foot Nitro with 4 batteries currently in the boat. Do you believe I need a fifth battery to support an HDS 10 gen + HDS 12 Touch + Sonic Hub? I fish maybe 10 hours at time (per trip) between recharging opportunities. thank you again
Hi Geo Matrix, First we need to know if you have used the BBWGPS with a Navnet. If so you will not be able to use it with the PC. If not, then you will have to connect it through an RS232 port, assuming your PC still has one.
Thanks for putting this video together. Does the HDS also need a power source, separate from the power to the NMEA? Or does the power that supports the backbone also supply power to all devices connected to the NMEA backbone?
hi I am trying to hook up my nmea the yellow power cable has 3 wires. one is a silver looking wire with no insulation around it what ad where does that go
If you are trying to save a few bucks, best if you just find another interest. Boat the proper way that is fun is expensive. Boating the cheap way always leads to tears and more aggravation than its worth. Trust me, I've tried it both ways.
If I was looking to just read what my fuel tank was doing with just my Echo Map Plus 74cv, do I need all the parts listed in the video ? I found the Garmin GFS 10 but still not 100% on what would be needed. That's the only component I want to add to my chartplotter. Basically want to replace the analog fuel gauge.
The power for the HDS units, Radar and SonicHub come from their own power cables, not the NMEA 2000 network. The transducer will get power from the HDS and the point one antenna will get power from the NMEA 2000 network.
Looking to communicate with Suzuki 2009 NMEA backbone and connect to new Garmin. The Suzuki has blue connections that does not connect to the Garmin how do I convert to the new connections? Is this the part number I need ? NVX12705 MAN#: 000-0127-05

Good job guys, you answer bunch of questions for me thanks
Clear and intresting video!

The single best cost to reward ratio on an upgrade a boat owner will ever see. Easiest upgrade to install you will ever see also!
Hi Scott. Great explanation of how to build a NMEA 2000 network. How would I use the Furuno BBWGPS NavNet GPS Receiver to provide data directly to my PC and MaxSea Time Zero?
FYI, the power cable should always be connected as close to the center of the backbone as possible.

very helpful - thanks. does the network consume any power when the instruments are switched off?
kun je een marifoon horizon gx2200 ook met neme 2000 aansluiten in opgaaf staat alleen neme 0183 ???

tnx for video,
q: How do I connect my engine data with 740s....what cable do I need
tnx

Is it possible to share radar and sonar between a garmin 741xs and a garmin 742 xs and or a 942 xs using the nema 2000?

lowrance needs seperate power
I was thinking the same thing. I will give you uyd
hi I am trying to hook up my nmea the yellow power cable has 3 wires. one is a silver looking wire with no insulation around it what ad where does that go
the "silver" (bare) cable is used to ground the nmea2K network. Connect it to the "minus", same place as the black cable
cool stuff, btw your site should accept paypal credit and regular payable FYI...
Thank you for this. Can the backbone make a 90 degree turn?
They make L-shaped connectors for tight turns, cable will bend to make gradual turns.
How important are the terminator end caps? I know they have a 100ohm resistor. Can another device be added instead of a terminator?

Hi doctor, do you know why everyone pronounce NMEA as "NEMA" ???? this really confuse me
I will give you guys a call tomorrow afternoon.

why terminator

i means name 0183 en name 2000 off course
Is there enough power in the NMEA to run 2 Lowrance HDS units, Radar, transducer, Sonic Hub, Point1 antenna?
The power for the HDS units, Radar and SonicHub come from their own power cables, not the NMEA 2000 network. The transducer will get power from the HDS and the point one antenna will get power from the NMEA 2000 network.

Nice, but anyone can plug in a cable. Now plug in the power and show how to configure the screen.
This whole system is a USB wanna be that seems to be a major failure... I don’t see the point
just very expensie bus bar, every thing needs garmin cables at rip off prices.
Can I use a 2000 to 0182 nmea adapter to plug into a C70 PLOTTER?
