Cable Routing Grommets
NOTICE
Cable routing 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 sealing the grommets.
When routing cables through your boat, it may be necessary to
drill holes to route the connector ends of the cables. A rubber
grommet is provided to cover the cable hole for a finished look.
You can purchase additional grommets from your Garmin
dealer or directly from Garmin at www.garmin.com .
Installing the Cable Grommet
1
Mark the location where you want to route the cable.
2
Using a 32 mm (1¼ in.) paddle drill bit or hole saw, drill the
installation hole.
3
Route the cable through the hole to the sounder.
4
Spread the grommet apart at the split, and place it around
the cable.
5
Firmly push the grommet into the installation hole until it is
seated.
6
Apply marine sealant, as needed, to weatherproof the
installation hole.
Blink Codes
After the sounder is installed, it turns on when the chartplotter is
turned on. The two-color (green and red) LED on the sounder
indicates its operational status.
