Wire Function Wire Color Notes
Ignition Red This should be connected to a
separate switched 12 Vdc
connection, such as an ignition
bus, to turn the device on and off.
If you are not using a switched
12 Vdc connection, you must
connect this to the same source
as the yellow (power) wire.
Amplifier on Blue/white This is connected only when using
an external amplifier on ZONE 3
and on SUB OUT (optional).
Mute Brown/white When connected to ground, this
mutes the audio or switches the
input to AUX2. This is available in
the settings menu.

Connecting to Power
When connecting the stereo to power, you must connect both
power wires. The yellow power wire should be connected
directly to the battery, or connected using a 15 A isolator switch.
This provides power to the stereo and a constant trickle-power
standby feed. The red signal wire should be connected to the
same battery through the ignition or another manual switch to
turn the stereo on and off.
If you are not routing the red wire to the ignition or another
manual switch, you can connect the yellow to the red, and
connect them to the positive (+) battery terminal. You should put
a fuse on the red wire.
If it is necessary to extend the yellow power and black ground
wires, use 14 AWG (2.08 mm
2
) wire. For extensions longer than
1 m (3 ft.), use 12 AWG (3.31 mm²) wire.
If it is necessary to extend the red signal wire, use 22 AWG
(0.33 mm
2
) wire.
1
Route the yellow power
À
and black ground
Á
wires to the
battery and route the wiring-harness plug to the stereo.
Do not connect the wiring harness to the stereo until all of the
bare wire connections have been made.
2
Connect the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal.
3
Select an option:
• Connect the yellow wire to the positive (+) battery
terminal, and route the red signal wire
Â
to the ignition or
another manual switch
Ã
.
• Connect the yellow wire to the red, and connect them to
the positive (+) battery terminal.
NMEA 2000 Connection Considerations
NOTICE
If you purchased the stereo and remote as a bundle (FUSION
MS-BB300R), do not use the included adapter cable
(CAB000862) to connect the FUSION BB300 stereo to an
existing NMEA 2000 network. Existing networks are normally
powered separately. You must obtain a non-powered drop cable
(CAB000863) from FUSION to connect to existing NMEA 2000
networks.
The FUSION MS-BB300 stereo can connect to an existing
NMEA 2000 network or to a FUSION NRX remote control.
Through the NMEA 2000 network, you control the FUSION MS-
BB300 device using a compatible chartplotter or FUSION NRX
remote control.
The FUSION MS-BB300R stereo and remote bundle package
includes the cables needed to connect the FUSION BB300
stereo to a stand-alone FUSION remote control network. If you
need to connect the FUSION MS-BB300R stereo and remote
bundle to an existing NMEA 2000 network, you must obtain a
non-powered drop cable (CAB000863) from FUSION.
The FUSION MS-BB300 stereo package includes a NMEA 2000
drop cable to connect the FUSION BB300 stereo to an existing
NMEA 2000 network. A standard NMEA 2000 drop cable is not
compatible with the connector on the device, although the
included cable can be extended to a maximum length of 2 m
(6 ft.) using a standard NMEA 2000 cable.
