Connecting command link to Lowrance HDS

[Roberth]

Can someone explain how to connect command link to Lowrance HDS12 to display engine gauges on MFD
All 3 of the device plugs on the bus bar are in use already for the dash gauges. Do I need another bus bar to connect to nmea 2000 and if so does it need its own power supply?

It's been a while I had one for my old boat but my Honda is not compatable but by bus bar you mean your nmea t connectors in the top right corner of this imagine? https://amzn.to/4gkvtrb

I think you can just another one, https://amzn.to/49lsBrQ #ad

I’ve got that. It’s the other end I’m unclear about. I have the adapter cable for NMEA and another t. Do I connect to the command link bus plug or add another command link backbone is my question

Insert a T in your existing NMEA backbone and connect the MFD to that. Existing power supply is sufficient.

It looks like if all the command link termanitors have been removed another bus bar from page 4? Usually Harbour Chandler has an expert on staff or call Lowrance support? https://continuouswave.com/whaler/reference/Yamaha/Yamaha_Engine_NMEA_2000_Connection.pdf
