Installing a Locking Ring
Installing Cable Grommets
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.

1. Route the included 2-pin power cable to the boat battery and to the chartplotter.
2. Connect the power (red) and ground (black) wires to the battery terminals.
NOTES:
Use 14 AWG shielded wiring for extended runs of wire to the power cable.
Solder all connections and seal them with heat-shrink tubing.
