Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding. When drilling or cutting, always check first to see what is on the opposite side of the surface. Mount the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C in a location that provides a clear, glare-free view of the display and easy operation of the controls.
NSTALLATION NSTRUCTIONS Surface Mounting the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C Tools • Drill and drill bit • Screwdriver • Pencil • Mounting hardware (not included) NOTE: Mounting hardware (fasteners) not included. Mounting holes are 5/16" (7.9 mm) in diameter. To install the Bail Mount and unit: 1.
• Sockets or wrenches • Hammer • Center punch To flush mount the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C: 1. Trim the Flush Mount Template, and tape it in the location you want. 2. Using the center punch, indent the center of each mounting hole location.
3. Drill the holes using the appropriate drill bits. 4. Align the GPS 17 over the mounting holes, and fasten it using M4 screws. The mounting threads in the GPS 17 are 8.10 mm deep. Do not use screws that thread into the GPS 17 deeper than 8 mm, or the case may be damaged.

To attach the enclosed pole mount to the GPS 17: 1. Thread the cable though the pole mount. 2. Align the tab on the mount to the notch on the GPS 17. 3. Use the enclosed screws to secure the mount to the base.
The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C comes with an 18-pin Power/NMEA and a 17-pin Marine Video cable. Optional Garmin Marine Network components use specialized Garmin Network cables. For some installations, it may be necessary to drill 1.25" (31.7 mm) holes to route the connector end of the cables.
The following pages contain several wiring diagrams. The first diagram on the next page shows the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C MFD using the 18-pin Power/Data wiring harness and the GPS 17. If two or more GPSMAP 3006C/3010C units are installed and networked, only one GPS 17 antenna needs to be installed.

Optional Alarm Wiring The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C has an alarm circuit that can be used with a lamp, a horn, or both to alert you when the unit displays a message. The alarm circuit pulls low when the alarm sounds. The alarm does not have to be wired for the unit to function. The maximum current is 100 milliamps.

VCR, DVD, TV, or a video camera. The MFD can display one video input at a time or alternate between the two (see the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C Owner’s Manual). Sound from a video source must be attached to a separate stereo/audio system. The video output from video device attaches to the Video 1 (Black Cable) or Video 2 (Gray Cable) RCA connectors.
MFDs over the network. Waterproof RJ-45 connections allow for simple installation and high-speed connectivity. For a simple installation with one MFD and one sensor, the two devices can be directly connected with a Garmin Marine Network cable. If more than two MFDs are installed, you need a Garmin Marine Network Port Expander (GMS 10) to expand the network.

Final Wiring Connection After all the wiring is complete, the cables are attached on the back of the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C MFD. If the MFD is not being networked, be sure to firmly affix the weather cap over the open connector to limit corrosion of the contacts. The connection ports are labeled on the back of the MFD.
