GPSMAP 6000/7000 Series Installation Instructions
7
Installing a locking ring on a cable:
1. Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference so that the cable connector is at the mounting location of the chartplotter.
2. Use the table above to identify the correct locking ring for the cable, and locate the locking ring bag by number.
3. Separate the two halves of the locking ring.
4. Align the two halves of the locking ring over the cable and snap them together.
5. Insert the O-ring into the end of the connector.
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 finished 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
.

for trimming instructions. Carefully trim the cable
hole in the grommet, as needed.
4. Route the cable to the chartplotter, and test the system.
5. Spread the grommet apart at the split and place it around the cable.
6. Firmly push the grommet into the installation hole until it is seated.
7. Apply marine sealant, as needed, to weatherproof the installation-hole (optional).
Wiring the Power Cable
The GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter must be connected to the power supply for the boat.
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.
• If your boat has an electrical system, you can possibly wire the chartplotter to an unused holder on your fuse block. If you wire the
chartplotter to the fuse block, remove the in-line fuse holder supplied with the 2-pin power cable.
