0808 2380000. In Europe, go to Garmin (Europe) Ltd. by phone at +44 (0) 870.8501241. Before installing your GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter, confirm that the package contains the items listed on the box. If any parts are missing, contact your Garmin dealer immediately. - Page 2 Mounting the GPSMAP 6000/7000 Series Chartplotter You can mount the GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotters using one of two methods. You can use the included bracket to bail mount the chartplotter, or you can use the included template and hardware to flush mount the chartplotter.
- Page 3 Flush Mounting the GPSMAP 6000/7000 Series Chartplotter Hardware (included): • Flush-mount template • Rubber gasket • Four flush-mount nut-plates • Four 60 mm M3 × 0.5 screws (to secure the nut plate to the mounting surface) • Four M4 × 0.7 screws (to secure the chartplotter to the nut plate) • Four 7 mm nylon washers (for the M4 × 0.7 screws) 1. The flush-mount template is included in the product box. Trim the template and ensure that it will fit in the location at which you want to flush mount the chartplotter. NotES: • Ensure that the surface on which you mount the chartplotter has enough open space behind it to accommodate the chartplotter and the connected wires. Refer to the diagram on the flush-mount template for the clearance-space needed by your chartplotter. • Ensure that there is at least in. (13 mm) of space on the right side of the chartplotter to access the SD card door, as indicated on the flush-mount template. • Ensure that enough ventilation is present behind the mounting surface to create sufficient air flow to prevent the chartplotter from overheating. • To avoid interference, mount GPSMAP 6008/6208 chartplotters 15 in. (38.1 cm), GPSMAP 6012/6212 chartplotters 16 in. (40.6 cm), GPSMAP 7012/7212 chartplotters 25 in. (63.5 cm) and 7015/7215 chartplotters 17 in. (43.2 cm) from a magnetic compass.

I nstall the rubber gasket on the back of the chartplotter. The top and bottom sections line up with the holes. 15. I f you will not have access to the back of the chartplotter after you mount it, connect all necessary cables to the chartplotter before placing it into the cutout. 16. P lace the chartplotter into the cutout. 17. S ecure the chartplotter to the mounting surface using the included 70 mm M4 × 0.7 screws and 7 mm black nylon washers. NotE: To prevent corrosion of the metal contacts, cover unused connectors (page 17) with the attached weather caps. 18. I nstall the mounting covers by snapping them into place. Mounting the GPS 17x Antenna You can surface mount the GPS 17x antenna, attach it to a standard 1 in. -

GPS 17x with the cable run through the pole: 1. Position a standard 1 in. OD pipe-threaded-pole marine mount (14 threads per inch—not included) in the preferred location, and mark the approximate center of the pole. 2. Drill a hole using a in. (19 mm) drill bit for the cable to pass through. 3. Fasten the marine mount to the boat. 4. Thread the pole-mount adapter onto the pole. Do not overtighten the adapter. 5. Route a NMEA 2000 drop cable through the pole and connect it to the GPS 17x antenna. 6. Place the GPS 17x antenna on the pole-mount adapter 7. Secure the antenna to the adapter with the included M3 set screw 8. (Optional) With the GPS 17x installed on the pole mount, fill the vertical cable slot with a marine sealant. 9. Route the NMEA 2000 drop cable away from sources of electronic interference, and connect it to your NMEA 2000 network (page 8).

• The NMEA 2000 cables and connectors come with the locking rings pre-installed. Do not remove the locking ring from a NMEA 2000 cable while routing the cable. • Optional Garmin Marine Network components use specialized Garmin Network cables (not included). Each network cable is also packaged with a separate locking ring, in a bag labeled with a GPSMAP 6000/7000 cable. -
Page 7: Installing Cable Grommets
3. Refer to the diagram on page 7 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. -
Page 8: Connecting To An Existing Nmea 2000 Network
The GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter is packaged with the necessary NMEA 2000 connectors and cable to either connect a GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter and a GPS 17x antenna to your existing NMEA 2000 network, or to build a basic NMEA 2000 network. For more information on NMEA 2000, visit www.garmin.com. -
Page 9: Creating A Basic Nmea 2000 Network
• NMEA 0183 devices must all be wired to one chartplotter on the network. The data is then shared over the network to other connected chartplotters. • Connect all chartplotters to the NMEA 2000 network as well as to the Garmin Marine Network. NMEA 2000 data is not shared over the Garmin Marine Network. -
Page 10: Sample Garmin Marine Network Setups
The following illustrations show common Garmin Marine Network setups. The illustrations only show how the devices connect to each other using Garmin Marine Network cables. No power connections are shown in any of the diagrams. Ensure that you wire each device to power according to the appropriate installation instructions. - Page 11 • These diagrams show the Garmin Marine Network connections; however, they do not show NMeA 2000 or NMeA 0183 connections. • When connecting a GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter to an existing Garmin Marine Network, the GMS 10 can be used but is not necessary.

Page 12: Wiring Additional Nmea 0183 Devices
Wiring Additional NMEA 0183 Devices The NMEA 0183 data cable included with the GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter supports the NMEA 0183 standard, which is used to wire various NMEA 0183-compliant devices, such as VHF radios, NMEA instruments, autopilots, or a computer. -
Page 13: Advanced Nmea 0183 Wiring
• For two-way communication with a NMEA 0183 device, the ports on the GPSMAP 6000/7000 chartplotters are not linked. For example, if the RX port of the NMEA-compliant device is wired to TX port 1 on the GPSMAP 6000/7000, you can wire the TX port of your NMEA 0183-compliant device to RX port 1, port 2, port 3, or port 4 on the GPSMAP 6000/7000. - Page 14 RX / A(+) > RX / B(-) > WIRE RED (PoWER) NMEA 0183-compliant BLACk (PWR GND) BLACk (DAtA GND) > WIRE RED (PoWER) NMEA 0183-compliant BLACk (PWR GND) BLACk (DAtA GND) > GPSMAP 6000/7000 Series Installation Instructions device device device...

Page 15: Wiring To A Lamp Or To A Horn (Optional)
Wiring to a Lamp or to a Horn (optional) The GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter can be used with a lamp, a horn, or both, to sound or flash an alert when the chartplotter displays a message. The alarm does not need to be wired for the GPSMAP 6000/7000 chartplotter to function. The alarm circuit switches to a low-voltage state when the alarm sounds. -
Page 16: Installing Video Cables
Primary video Cable (video—Yellow Connector) This cable is supplied with all GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotters, and connects to the yellow video connector on the back of the chartplotter. This cable allows for two separate composite video sources and it allows for video output to an external PC monitor. -
Page 17: Updating The Chartplotter Software
Making the Final Connections to the GPSMAP 6000/7000 Series Chartplotter After the power cable and the GPS antenna (as well as any optional Garmin Marine Network devices, NMEA 0183 devices, NMEA 2000 connections, or video connections) are wired to the boat, connect the cables to the GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter. -
