The OBDSTAR M063 connects the universal 6-pin diagnostic connector of inboard and sterndrive engines to the 16-pin OBD2 end of your OBDSTAR device. The connector is located on the engine in the boat's engine compartment.

This 6-pin connector is not specific to one brand. It is found on engines from, among others, MerCruiser, Volvo Penta, Indmar, PCM and Ilmor. With the cable you read out the engine control: fault codes, live data and actuation tests. The device itself must support diagnostics for the brand. The cable works with the OBDSTAR Marine Master, D700 and the IScan series (Marine).

ADVANTAGES

✔One cable for ten engine brands with the same 6-pin diagnostic connector.
✔The cable is included as standard in the box of the OBDSTAR Marine Master and can be ordered separately here.
✔You read out the engine control without a separate brand tester for each engine brand.
✔The 16-pin end fits the main cable of the OBDSTAR marine devices.

POINTS TO NOTE

✕Your diagnostic device must support the brand-specific engine diagnostics; the cable does not convert protocols.
✕A simple EOBD code reader does not work with this cable; it only reads emissions-related OBD2 data.
✕The cable is designed for the OBDSTAR marine devices; operation with devices from other brands has not been confirmed.
✕Only for engines with the universal 6-pin connector; other connectors from the same brand require a different cable.

Applications and functions

The cable is intended for yacht yards and marine mechanics who read out inboard and sterndrive engines of different brands.

Systems you can access

  • Engine control: The ECU of the engine.
  • Other systems: Varies by engine and equipment.

What you can do

  • Fault codes: Read and clear.
  • Live data: Engine speed, temperatures and sensors.
  • Actuation tests: Activate and test components.
  • ECU information: Software and hardware numbers.

How to use it

  1. Locate the connection: Find the 6-pin diagnostic connector on the engine.
  2. Connect the cable: Connect the 16-pin end to the main cable of the device.
  3. Connect: Insert the 6-pin connector into the connection on the engine.
  4. Ignition on: Switch the ignition on, without starting the engine.
  5. Read out: Select the engine brand and engine type in the menu.

Compatible vehicles and applications

The deciding factor is the universal 6-pin diagnostic connector on the engine. The cable is intended for engines with that connector from the following brands:

Inboard and sterndrive:

  • MerCruiser: Inboard and sterndrive.
  • Volvo Penta: Engines with the 6-pin connector.
  • Indmar: Inboard engines.
  • PCM: Inboard engines.
  • Crusader Engines: Inboard engines.
  • Ilmor: Inboard engines.
  • Marine Power: Inboard engines.
  • Kodiak Marine: Inboard engines.
  • Seven Marine: Outboard engines.
  • Panther Airboats: Engines for airboats.
💡
Good to know: You can recognise the connector by its six pins. It is located on the engine or in the wiring harness in the engine compartment. In the OBDSTAR app, you can look up the location of the diagnostic port for each engine.
