It is your responsibility to comply with applicable laws,

operation of marine navigation lights. Garmin is not
responsible for any fines, penalties, citations, or damages
that may be incurred due to any such lack of compliance.
By default, channels 1 and 2 are interlocked for
navigation lighting to satisfy the international regulations
for preventing collisions at sea. Depending on the lighting
specifics of your boat, you may need to configure the
Garmin Boat Switch device to use the wiring option you
that applies to your installation type.
If you do not intend to connect navigation and anchor
lights to the device, you can configure channels 1 and 2 to
operate independently as normal latching switches.

NMEA 2000 network as the Garmin Boat Switch
