Lowrance hook up to 140 Suzuki

[CCDrifter]

HI all
I know this has beend talked about a thousand times before BUUUT.
I am looking at Connecting my twin 2006 140 hp Suzuki's to my Lowarance 7200.
I ahve phoned a few local supplies and 2 parts of knowhere.
I think i need a starter kit for the lowrance and 2 x EP20 adaptors for the motors.
Is there anythiing else I need?
Where in H&^% can I get all this from, as all local suppliers look at me as though I am talking swahealy.

Any info would be great

ccdrifter,

Ok, you need;

an ep20,
lowrance backbone nmea 2000 cable
2 x 120ohm terminators, lowrance nmea 2000.
2 x tpeices, (head unit, ep20)
1 x small extension to your unit.

You also need to be aware that the backbone cable colour and connection has changed, from blue to red, have a look at the back of your unit and see wether the NMEA network connection is red or blue, you can get conversion cables.

approximate cost was around the $500.00 mark when I did it for parts.

ep20 : http://store.brownspoint.com

you can get the NMEA cables locally, brisbane : trymax marine or Wynnum Marine or any Lowrance dealer. (cheaper from browns point by more than 50% on what we pay here)
Example, here 25' extension cable, 125.00 browns point, 22.58 USD.
I realised to late and bought all the backbone gear here first.

Have a read of the following thread, blackarrow and I both got the same result via different connection methods.

Just a note disconnecting your gauges at the dash will void your warranty.

Let me know if you need anthing else. ps the attached picture has one two many tpieces just ignore.

This is for RustyMarlin,

but I suspect CCdrifter you will want to know this as well,

The wiring between the yamaha guage harness plug and the suzi conversion cable. 4 on the square yam plug 3 wires on the round suzi connector.

The Pin outs are as picture 2 (connector on the bench), so you can see what I have drawn as the top of each connector. The third picture shows the pin outs from the end of the connector, pretty easy to see which is connected.

Regards
HOnda.
