Hey Steve,

You can get most of the info on the unit here (http://primus.lowrance.com/support/resultDisplay.do;jsessionid=A95BE2B768B47015466FEB 43B65A8B35?gotoLink=63&docType=1000&contextId=596%3A63.145%2C229.358%2C36.60&clusterName=ClusterPublic&lang=english&docset=%2FDocuments%2FPrimus&contentId=ea146203-54f8-4ca1-a54a-945ed7242d4f&responseId=135ccbe2cfd4f608%3Adcb03b%3A12091185982 %3A-f15&groupId=4&answerGroup=1&score=994&page=http%3A%2F%2Fprimus.lowrance.com%2Ficr%2FNMEA +2000%2FNMEA2K_engine_info.htm&result=0&excerpt=Suzuki+Suzuki+has+engine+models+compatible +with+NMEA+2000+that+can+be+configured&question=suzuki&resultType=5000#Goto63). You can also rummage around Lowrance's site for more info. I have this interface going on my V2121 so you can check it out before you pick one up if you like. Back to pressure washing the driveway....

NMEA 2000 ENGINE INFORMATION

Suzuki, Yamaha, Evinrude

Suzuki

Suzuki has engine models compatible with NMEA 2000 that can be configured

using our head units and gauges. An engine interface cable (EP-20) is required

to connect the Suzuki engines into a network.

2008 and later Suzuki engines, excluding the DF 300, will also require the Suzuki

K8 adapter.

The DF300 models will require a Suzuki DF300 adapter.

Suzuki interface cable (EP-20) and adapter cable part numbers:

• 120-55 Suzuki Eng Intrfce Cbl – RD 10ft

• 120-56 Suzuki Eng Intrfce Cbl – RD 10ft (OEM 6PK)

Suzuki DF300 Single Engine Adapter (OEM) Suz# 990C0-88031

Suzuki DF300 Dual Engine Adapter (OEM) Suz# 990C0-88032

Suzuki DF300 Triple Engine Adapter (OEM) Suz# 990C0-88033

Suzuki K8 Adapter Suz# 990C0-88035

Suzuki Engine Interface Configuration

The LMF-200 and LMF-400 can support up to three engines with one engine

interface for each engine. If you have one configured engine interface, it will be

displayed as Eng Int. If you have three configured fuel flows, they will appear as

Port Eng, Cen Eng and Stbd Eng. When the interface is unconfigured it will be

shown as UnCfg Eng. Each fuel flow has an internal menu with the following

options: Unset Engine, Change Engine. Fuel Warning, Reset and Reset Fuel

Calibration and Reset Trim Calibration.

NOTE:

If, after configuring, unconfiguring or reconfiguring an engine interface, it is not

shown on the Bus Devices list, you will have to refresh the list. To do this, let the

menu time out and press MENU. Select SYSTEM SETUP and press MENU.

Highlight B. DEVICES and press MENU. The Engine Interface will be listed with

its new configuration setting.

To configure Suzuki Engine Interface: LMF-200

1. Press MENU, use the UP and DOWN keys to select SYSTEM SETUP and

5. Select your Suzuki model engine from the list and press MENU. The

Select Engine menu will appear with up to three options: Port, Center and

Starboard. (If you have a single-engine configuration, you will not be taken

to the Select Engine menu. You will be taken back to the main display.) 6.

Select the desired engine and press MENU. You will be taken back to the

Bus Devices list where the engine interface will be shown with its new

configuration

NOTE:

If the engine interface you just configured is not shown on the Bus Devices the

list, you will have to refresh the list. Let the Bus Devices list time out, then access

it again.

To configure a Suzuki Engine Interface: LMF-400

Thanks Dean

NP. Sorta like getting SmartCraft gauges for the cost of an $80 cable. ;) It was a no brainer for me.

[bioboy]

I have the Suzuki interface, but can't locate the connection on my DF 70 to connect the trim monitor. (not that it is important; but as long as it's part of the interface I'd like to see if it works).

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

[DaveP]

You have to trace the wire from the trim sending unit on the outside of the motor into the motor. You should find a white connector that needs to be unplugged and then plug that into your Suzuki Interface. I have one on my 150and it works well with the exception of the fuel flow which is way off on mine and I can not seem to get it calibrated.

I am hooking up my Suzuki Engine Interface cable and have ran into a problem. I can't find where to connect the Trim connector in the attached photo .I hooked up the engine interface connector with the adapter for 2009 motors (150)

Is it the White clip in the lower left side of the attached pic with the green and blue wire?

[VernH]

Does anybody know if any of the NMEA interfaces are compatible with the 1999 Evinrude 50 horse 4 stoke. It is made by Suzuki.

It does have the diagnostic port connector and I know that there is a factory diagnostic cable and program to get info out of it.

Will it maybe just display a subset of the info that the newer unit?

Thanks

That sure looks like it.

Found this on a marine store web site. Hope it Helps. You may want to check with Dave at Pro Fishing Supply he may have a better description and specs.

The most important part of the SMIS data system. DF40 thru DF300 Suzuki Outboards can connect to the system using the exclusive SMIS Engine Interface.

For the following models:

DF 40 to DF 300 - 2005 and Newer
DF 200 to DF 250 - 2004 and Newer
Earlier models may have limited engine monitor functions.

This has been a real pain in the @#$ and I thought plugging in a couple wires to my new Suzuki 150 to my Globalmap unit would be a easy job.....NOT.... Now I will spend hours on the phone and try to get some help from Lowrance then Suzuki and then some other support....its all fun

What problems are you having? I have the same set up and it took me all of 5 minutes to hook it up. Of course I spent an hour making the wires look pretty but the hookup was easy. Let me know, I would be glad to help out.

I can't find where to connect the Trim connector. I hooked up the engine interface connector with the adapter for 2009 motors (150)

You need to locate the trim sending unit that is on the outside of the motor. It is located between the motor mounting brackets on the transom. Mine is mounted on the inside of the right motor bracket. With the motor tilted all the way up, you can see the sending unit. It has a spring loaded lever that sends the trim info. Follow the wire that comes out of the sending unit up into the motor until you find the white connector that couples it to another wire. On mine it is directly below where your index finger is in that picture. You have to disconnect the current connection and plug in the engine interface. I sent you a private message with my cell phone. Call me if you are still having problems.
