Transom Mount Intelliducer Installation Instructions
Step 3 (NMEA 2000): Connect the Intelliducer to a NMEA 2000 Network
The Intelliducer is packaged with a NMEA 2000 T-connector. The Intelliducer has a built-in
NMEA 2000 drop cable. Use these two components to connect the Intelliducer to your existing
NMEA 2000 network. If you do not have an existing NMEA 2000 network, you will need to
install a NMEA 2000 network on your boat. For more information on NMEA 2000, visit
To connect the Transom Mount Intelliducer to your existing NMEA 2000 network:
1. Determine an appropriate location to connect the Intelliducer to your existing NMEA 2000
backbone.
2. Disconnect one side of a NMEA 2000 T-connector, or disconnect a terminator from the
backbone nearest to the location where you want to connect the Intelliducer.
If you need to extend the NMEA 2000 backbone, connect an appropriate NMEA 2000
backbone extension cable (not included) to the T-connector or terminator you disconnected.
3. Connect the included T-connector for the Intelliducer in the NMEA 2000 backbone.
4. Route the built-in drop cable on the Intelliducer to the bottom of the T-connector you added
to your NMEA 2000 network.
