Garmin EchoMap UHD 64cv Active Captain and NMEA2000 Setup

- The new Garmin EchoMap UHD is an amazing fish finder and chart plotter. Those features seem alot easier to obtain useful information. When I was in the market for one of these devices, I was most interested in how Active Captain is setup, and how to tie the Garmin device into a NMEA2000 network. I was able to connect my Yamaha F200 engine through the NMEA2000 network and ultimately read the data points that the engine is automatically setup to send.
I also will demonstrate how to setup your Garmin EchoMap UHD to custom display the data that is most important to monitor on your vessel.

This garmin has a 4 pin but the cables for the nmea 2000 are 5 pins does that matter ?
Thank you
I just watched the above video on NMEA2000, very informative. I'm new to boating and will soon take delivery of a new Yamaha powered 22 ft DC. I ordered the NMEA2000 backbone and am anxious to better understand how it works. Looking forward to more on this topic. John Cambridge, MD
Awesome....there's tons to learn!
Many thanks for a very useful video, particularly the NMEA connection. I have a new boat and need to mount my unit on the front of the console as yours is. Do you have the info regarding the ‘ball mount’ (?) you are using please? Many thanks again for a great vid from the U.K. 👍👏👏
I used something similar to this: www.amazon.com/RAM-RAM-B-111U-Marine-Universal-Electronic/dp/B00144COPK/ref=asc_df_B00144COPK/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=167142842126&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16735922392850554091&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9006890&hvtargid=pla-138229263915&psc=1
@@SpeedingMedia, Many thanks, ordered 👍
Thanks man! I could get the gauges but could not figure out for the life of me how to display engine hours. This was perfect!
awesome!
Hey man good info..came on this 2001 Triton I have. That NMEA 2000 is cool.. im wanting to hook mine up.. thanks. I'll keep you posted. I have the same unit.
You'll love it!
How can I get data chips? Thanks for the help. ScottEJ
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking.
This is a great video - but I have an important question! Is it permissible to power up the Garmin and do this lengthy procedure (I have the same unit) with the transducer OUT of the water?? I thought it would overheat/burn out the transducer!
Great question and the honest answer is, I don't know! I did the whole video with the boat sitting in my garage. I never even gave it a thought that running it out of the water could be bad. It's been 4 years with it and I've never had a problem.
@@SpeedingMedia I just did it (THANK YOU!) and also did not have a problem. The Facebook wisdom says so long as you do not invoke the SONAR or other functionality that utilizes the transducer (i.e sends power for pulses) all is well. I felt the transducer several times while creating the wi-fi network and updating, and it never got warm...so I think we have our answer. Thanks again so much!!
Very thorough video
Any chance you might know why when I'm in navigation mode on my 64cv i can't zoom in closer than 12 miles without the map going blank? I've updated the software and used ActiveCaptain to download the newest charts, but, still can't see anything on my map when zooming in under 12 miles. Help?
Wish I could help. I'd recommend reaching out to Garmin!
Great stuff!!! Learned a lot more than I planned on; appreciate the video🤙🏻
awesome...thanks!
Awesome video great info I have a 63cv. Did you have to buy the wire from your unit to the backbone separate?
It's been a few months since I installed it, but I'm pretty sure it did come with a long data cable to plug into the backbone. They're pretty inexpensive either way though.
That's the unit I wish i had. I got the 64cv UHD
@@kjsoutdooradventures7705 what’s the different between the 63 and 64?
Great video. Question. What type of memory card is required? I just have the same exact GPS and would like to see my engine hrs. Thanks.
From Garmin's site, it says you can use up to a 32 GB microSD® memory card, formatted to FAT32. They recommend a Speed class 4 or greater.
@@SpeedingMedia thanks for the quick response time!
Don’t forget to subscribe and share the video!
You could’ve just connected the unit to the Yamaha multi hub with the garmin to Yamaha adapter then pigtail. How did you get the gauges on the garmin?
I could have done that for sure. I actually thought about it. This solution was cheaper though, and gave me all the added benefits of the Garmin unit.
Are you satisfied with the ram mount for the Garmin? It's the Ram 111 with the 1.5" ball or the bigger 2.5"? Thank you
I'm very satisfied with the RAM Mount. This one utilizes the 1.5" ball.
@@SpeedingMedia Thanks, I appreciate it!! Great work btw
@@chrisantoniou8867 Thanks...not normally what I create videos on. But...when I realized nobody else was covering this, I figured maybe it would be helpful. It was a happy accident I suppose.
hello do you know if I can do the same nmea but with my Mercury I can't find no answer on this
Mercury certainly has engines with NMEA capability. Without knowing anything about it, that's a tough question to answer. I'd check with your local Mercury dealer to be sure.
Great video, super helpful! 😎
Thanks!
I just purchased the same garmin you have, could you add a link for everything you used to connect to yamaha outboard.
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012R2PHG/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
That connects it to the NMEA backbone.
Excellent video, well done! Thank you.
Thanks!
Thanks, I came here looking for the same info you we’re looking for. I’m new to boating and like you want hours on the dash(the dealership installed a meter under the cowl). I have an Echomap UHD 74sv. One question, that is not absolutely clear. It sounds like the transducer still plugs into the back of the Garmin and the NMEA 2000 plugs into the power port. I was thinking that all the devices plugged into the bus. But now that I think about it, it makes sense that the transducer remains directly into the Garmin.
I’ll have to check to be sure. My boat is still in winter storage so I won’t be able to put eyes on it for a few more weeks. But...if I remember correctly, the transducer plugs directly into the Garmin.
I just double-checked my video. The transducer does plug into the Garmin unit.
@@SpeedingMedia yes that is what I gathered as well. Thanks for the video
Any updates on how you likes the Garmin?
I've been really satisfied with it!
Is that garmin touchscreen or is it just the 7in?
Unfortunately this isn’t a touch screen. I wish it was!
If u buy a new map card u dont got to do all this right
I'm not exactly sure what you're asking...
@@SpeedingMedia you dont got to do active captain if u buy a garman map card
@@ktmdays I'm honestly not sure
Thanks for the great information. Maryland Pride!
Nice...we fish in Assawoman Bay out of OCMD often!
@@SpeedingMedia oh cool. I have a place on Tangier and looking at a boat w the Garmin on it. The last fish finder I had was a color Lowrance unit on a bass tracker. Just going from grayscale to color then was big deal, these new units are ridiculous w what the do.
