Connecting a Tohatsu Engine to a Fish Finder Display

Do you want to monitor your Tohatsu outboard's data on a fish finder or multifunction display? Here's how to do it step by step.

Haluatko seurata Tohatsu-perämoottorisi tietoja kaikuluotaimen tai monitoiminäytön kautta? Fimarin valmis MC-BP-TO NMEA 2000 -kytkentäsarja tekee tästä yksinkertaista ja turvallista.

Equipment Needed for Connection

Fimarin MC-BP-TO-4 ja MC-BP-TO-2 -sarjat sisältävät kaiken tarvittavan:

  • NMEA2000 moottorikaapeli, 2 tai 4m – liitetään suoraan Tohatsun moottoriin
  • Backbone-kaapeli, 4 tai 2m – runkokaapeli
  • 2 kpl T-haaroittimia – yhdistämään laitteet runkoon
  • Virtahaaroitin, uros, 2m, sulakkeella (5A)
  • Päätevastukset, uros ja naaras – järjestelmän molempiin päihin

Connection Step by Step

1. Engine Connection

Connect the kit's engine cable directly to the Tohatsu engine's diagnostic port (typically on the left side of the engine). Route the cable through the engine's cable grommet.

2. Building the NMEA 2000 Network

  • Connect the power cable to the battery via the main switch (main switch off).
  • Connect the T-connectors to both sides of the power cable.
  • Connect the cable from the engine to one T-connector, and the cable going to the fish finder to the other.
  • Attach terminators to both ends of the T-connector row.

3. Power Connection

Connect the power connector to the T-connector. Route the cable to the 12V battery via the main switch. Fimarin's power connector has a pre-installed 5A fuse.

4. Terminators

Place terminators at both ends of the backbone (male and female). Essential for network operation.

5. Connecting the Display

Connect a compatible fish finder or multifunction display to the other T-connector (Micro-C connector + NMEA 2000 compatibility).
