Compatible Fish Finders can display supported engine and vessel information received over NMEA 2000, also called NMEA2K or N2K. Compatibility depends on the Fish Finder model, the NMEA 2000 Sentences or PGNs being transmitted, the engine communication system, and the hardware required to connect the equipment.

Building a NMEA 2000 Network
A Series, X Series, and APEX Series, XPLORE Series and SOLIX Series Required Hardware | HELIX 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 and 15 G4N Required Hardware | HELIX 7, 9, 10, 12 G2N and HELIX 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 G3N Required Hardware | 8X9/ 9X9/ 11X9 Required Hardware | 8X8/ 9X8/ 11X8 Required Hardware
A compatible NMEA 2000 network requires the appropriate backbone, power, and connection hardware, contained in a NMEA 2000 Starter Kit.
- NMEA 2000 Starter Kit - Single Item# 700064-1
- NMEA 2000 Starter Kit - Dual Item# 700065-1
Additional gateways, Ethernet adapters, or engine-manufacturer adapters may be required depending on the Fish Finder and engine system. See charts below. The NMEA 2000 starter kit guide explains how to create a NMEA 2000 network.
