Mounting Considerations
NOTICEThis device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related consequences are not covered by the warranty.When selecting a mounting location, you should observe these considerations.
- The location should provide optimal viewing as you operate your boat.
- The location should allow for easy access to all device interfaces, such as the keypad, touchscreen, and card reader, if applicable.
- The location must be strong enough to support the weight of the device and protect it from excessive vibration or shock.
- To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device should not be installed closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications.
- The location must allow room for the routing and connection of all cables.
- The location must not be a flat, horizontal surface. The location should be in a vertical angle.
The location and viewing angle should be tested before you install the device. High viewing angles from above and below the display may result in a poor image.
Bail Mounting the DeviceNOTICEIf you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened.
You can use the included bracket to bail mount the device on a flat surface.
- Using the bail-mount bracket1 as a template, mark the pilot holes 2.
- Using a 3.2 mm ( 1 /8 in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.
- Secure the bail-mount bracket to the surface using the included M4 wood screws.
- Install the bail-mount knobs on the sides of the device.
- Place the device in the bail-mount bracket, and tighten the bail-mount knobs.
- Install the trim caps by snapping them in place around the edges of the device.
Flush Mounting the DeviceNOTICEBe careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the device.There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could compromise the stability of the device after it is mounted.The included template and hardware can be used to flush mount the device in your dashboard. There are three options for hardware based on the mounting surface material.
- You can drill pilot holes and use the included wood screws.
- You can drill holes and use the included nut plates and machine screws. The nut plates can add stability to a thinner surface.
- You can punch and tap holes, and use the included machine screws.
- Trim the template, and make sure it fits in the location where you want to mount the device.
- Secure the template to the mounting location.
- Using a 13 mm ( 1/2 in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
- Using a jigsaw or a rotary tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside line on the template.
- Place the device in the cutout to test the fit.
- If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the cutout.
- If necessary, remove the trim caps.NOTICEUse a plastic pry tool when possible. Using a metal pry tool, such as a screwdriver, can damage the trim caps and the device.
- After the device fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the mounting holes on the device line up with the larger holes on the template.
- If the mounting holes on the device do not line up, mark the new hole locations.
- Based on your mounting surface and model, drill or punch and tap the larger holes:• For the included wood screws on 702 models, drill 2 mm ( 5 /64 in.) holes and skip to step 18.• For the included wood screws on 902 models, drill 3.2 mm ( 1/8 in.) holes and skip to step 18.• For the included nut plate and machine screws, drill 6 mm ( 1/4 in.) holes in the larger hole locations.• For the included machine screws without the nut plate on 702 models, punch and tap M3.5 holes, and skip to step 18.• For the included machine screws without the nut plate on 902 models, punch and tap M4 holes, and skip to step 18.
- If you are using a nut plate, starting in one corner of the template, place a nut plate1 over the larger hole 2drilled in the previous step.The smaller hole on the nut plate should line up with the smaller hole on the template.
- If the smaller hole on the nut plate does not line up with the smaller hole on the template, mark the new hole location.
- If you are using a nut plate, drill a 4 mm (3 /16 in.) hole in the smaller hole location.
- Repeat to verify the placement of the remaining nut plates and holes on the template.
- Remove the template from the mounting surface.
- Starting in one corner of the mounting location, place a nut plate on the back of the mounting surface, lining up the large and small holes.The raised portion of the nut plate should fit into the larger hole.
- Secure the nut plates to the mounting surface by fastening the smaller machine screws5 through the smaller holes.
- Install the foam gasket 6 on the back of the device.The pieces of the foam gasket have adhesive on the back. Make sure you remove the protective liner before installing them on the device.
- If you will not have access to the back of the device after you mount it, connect all necessary cables to the device before placing it into the cutout.NOTICETo prevent corrosion of the metal contacts, cover unused connectors with the attached weather caps.
- Apply marine sealant between the mounting surface and the device to properly seal and prevent leakage behind the dashboard.
- If you will have access to the back of the device, apply marine sealant around the cutout.
- Place the device into the cutout.
- Secure the device to the mounting surface using the larger machine screws or the included wood screws.
- Wipe away all excess marine sealant.
- Install the trim caps by snapping them in place around the edges of the device.
Cable and Connection Considerations

Garmin Marine Network Considerations
NOTICE
A Garmin Marine Network PoE Isolation Coupler (010-10580-10) must be used when connecting any third-party device, such as a FLIR® camera, to a Garmin Marine Network. Connecting a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device directly to a Garmin Marine Network Chartplotter damages the Garmin Chartplotter and may damage the PoE device. Connecting any third-party device directly to a Garmin Marine Network Chartplotter will cause abnormal behavior on the Garmin devices, including the devices not properly turning off or the software, becoming inoperable.This device can connect to additional Garmin Marine Network devices to share data such as radar, sonar, and detailed mapping. When connecting Garmin Marine Network devices to this device, observe these considerations.
- All devices connected to the Garmin Marine Network must be connected to the same ground. If multiple power sources are used for Garmin Marine Network devices, you must tie all ground connections from all power supplies together using a low resistance connection or tie them to a common ground bus bar, if available.
- A Garmin Marine Network cable must be used for all Garmin Marine Network connections.◦ Third-party CAT5 cable and RJ45 connectors must not be used for Garmin Marine Network connections.◦ Additional Garmin Marine Network cables and connectors are available from your Garmin dealer.
- The NETWORK ports on the device each act as a network switch. Any compatible device can be connected to any NETWORK port to share data with all devices on the boat connected by a Garmin Marine Network cable.
NMEA 2000® ConsiderationsNOTICEIf you are connecting to an existing NMEA 2000 network, identify the NMEA 2000 power cable. Only one NMEA 2000 power cable is required for the NMEA 2000 network to operate properly.An NMEA 2000 Power Isolator (010-11580-00) should be used in installations where the existing NMEA 2000 network manufacturer is unknown.If you are installing an NMEA 2000 power cable, you must connect it to the boat ignition switch or through another in-line switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA 2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.This device can connect to an NMEA 2000 network on your boat to share data from NMEA 2000 compatible devices such as a GPS antenna or a VHF radio. The included NMEA 2000 cables and connectors allow you to connect the device to your existing NMEA 2000 network. If you do not have an existing NMEA 2000 network you can create a basic one using cables from Garmin.If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the Technical Reference for NMEA 2000 Products at garmin.com/manuals/nmea_2000.The port labeled NMEA 2000 is used to connect the device to a standard NMEA 2000 network.

NMEA 0183 Connection Considerations
- The Chartplotter provides one Tx (transmit) port and one Rx (receive) port.
- Each port has 2 wires, labeled A and B according to the NMEA 0183 convention. The corresponding A and B wires of each internal port should be connected to the A (+) and B (-) wires of the NMEA 0183 device.
- You can connect one NMEA 0183 device to the Rx port to input data to this Chartplotter, and you can connect up to three NMEA 0183 devices in parallel to the Tx port to receive data output by this Chartplotter.
- See the NMEA 0183 device installation instructions to identify the transmit (Tx) and receive (Rx) wires.
- You must use 28 AWG, shielded, twisted-pair wiring for extended runs of wire. Solder all connections and seal them with heat-shrink tubing.
- Do not connect the NMEA 0183 data wires from this device to the power ground.
- The power cable from the Chartplotter and the NMEA 0183 devices must be connected to a common power ground.
- The internal NMEA 0183 ports and communication protocols are configured on the Chartplotter. See the NMEA 0183 section of the Chartplotter owner’s manual for more information.
- See the Chartplotter owner’s manual for a list of the approved NMEA 0183 sentences that the Chartplotter supports.
NMEA 0183 Device ConnectionsThis diagram illustrates two-way connections for both sending and receiving data. You can also use this diagram for one-way communication. To receive information from an NMEA 0183 device, refer to items 1,2,3, 4, and 5when connecting the Garmin device.
