Depending on the installation, it may be necessary to drill holes to route the connector end of the GPSMAP cables. Rubber grommets are
provided to cover the cable holes for a nished look. You may not need the grommets in some installations. The grommets do NOT create a
waterproof seal. To create a waterproof seal, apply a marine sealant around the
grommet and cable after installation. Be sure to test the system before installing and
sealing the grommets. Purchase additional grommets from your Garmin dealer or
directly from Garmin at
www.garmin.com.
