The OBDSTAR M063 is an adapter cable for the universal 6-pin OBD connector found on marine and industrial combustion engines. One end features a 6-pin connector (female), whilst the other end has a standard 16-pin J1962 OBD2 connector (male) for your OBDSTAR diagnostic device.

This 6-pin connection is not proprietary to any single manufacturer: nine engine brands in the leisure marine sector and related applications use it as their diagnostic port. The cable maps the pin configuration without signal conversion or active electronics, routing the communication lines, such as K-line or CAN, to the corresponding pins on the OBD2 connector. This allows you to access the engine management system of the relevant motor. The list below confirms which brands are supported, but does not specify model years or engine types; these details and functional scope depend on your own device and software version.

KEY BENEFITS

✔Nine engine brands via one cable type — From MerCruiser and Volvo Penta to Panther Airboats: the same 6-pin diagnostic port.
✔Passive connection — No active electronics means no additional power supply or configuration required.
✔Direct connection to OBD2 port — Connect to OBDSTAR equipment without intermediate adapters.
✔Suitable for workshop and onboard use — The cable is designed for inboard, sterndrive and outboard applications with this connector type.

IMPORTANT NOTES

✕No model years or engine types specified — Only the application area is described per brand; consult OBDSTAR for specific model years.
✕Not for passenger vehicles — Vehicles with a standard 16-pin OBD2 socket as their only connector fall outside the scope of this product.
✕OBDSTAR equipment only — Use with other diagnostic hardware is not supported.
✕Does not extend vehicle coverage — Available functions depend on support from your specific device and software version.

Applications and functionality

This connection provides access to the engine management system of the internal combustion engine.

Control units you can reach

  • Engine management system (ECU): The control unit that communicates via the 6-pin connector.
  • Other systems: Whether additional modules are accessible alongside engine control varies by engine manufacturer and device.

What you can do

  • Read and clear fault codes: Retrieve fault codes from the engine management system via the 6-pin connection and clear them after diagnosis.
  • Monitor live data: Read engine parameters such as engine speed, coolant temperature and fuel pressure in real time.
  • ECU programming: Where your device supports it, reprogram or reinitialise the engine control unit.
  • Pin configuration conversion: Route the communication lines from the 6-pin engine connector to the corresponding positions on the 16-pin J1962 connector.
  • Note: Whether a specific engine is supported is determined by the vehicle list of your own device.

💡
Good to know: On marine engines, the 6-pin diagnostic connector is typically located near the engine block or within the engine compartment of the vessel; consult the engine manufacturer's documentation for the exact location for your specific engine type. Before ordering, verify that your engine has the 6-pin connector and that the manufacturer is listed in your diagnostic tool's vehicle database.
