1. Mount the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series chartplotter (page 2).
2. Mount the GPS antenna (page 5).
3. Connect the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series device to power and to the GPS antenna (pages 8-9).
4. Create a NMEA 2000 network or connect the chartplotter to an existing NMEA 2000 network (page 10).
5. Connect the GPS 17x antenna to the NMEA 2000 network (page 10).
6. Ensure the chartplotter software is up-to-date (page 20).
Although they are not necessary to use the GPSMAP 4000/5000 chartplotter, this manual covers other installation options:
• Connecting the chartplotter to other Garmin Marine Network compatible devices, such as a sounder or a radar (page 15).
• Connecting the chartplotter to other NMEA 0183-compatible devices such as a VHF radio with DSC (page 15).
• Connecting the chartplotter to an external alarm (page 18).
• Connecting the chartplotter to a video input source (page 19).
• Connecting the chartplotter to an external video monitor (page 19).

- Page 2 Mounting the GPSMAP 4000/5000 Series Chartplotter You can mount the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series chartplotters one of two ways. 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. You cannot bail mount the GPSMAP 5015/5215 chartplotters.
- Page 3 Flush Mounting the GPSMAP 4000/5000 Series Chartplotter The flush-mount method you will use with your chartplotter is dependent on the model. Be sure to follow the instructions for your chartplotter model.

10. P lace the chartplotter into the cutout. 11. S ecurely tighten the included mounting screws through the chartplotter into the pilot holes. NOTE: Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass and overtightened. Garmin recommends applying an anti-galling, stainless anti- seize lubricant to the screw before using. 12. R eplace the mounting covers by snapping them into place. Be sure to follow the correct mounting directions and the correct wiring directions for the antenna included with your chartplotter. - Page 6 Mounting the Antenna on a Surface 1. Select a mounting location for the antenna, and verify correct operation at the mounting location. 2. Trim the surface-mount template, and make sure the antenna fits in the mounting location you selected. 3. Remove the protective liner on the back of the template, and apply the template to the mounting location. 4. Use a in. (3.2 mm) bit to drill the three pilot holes indicated on the template. If you are mounting the GPS 17x on fiberglass, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through the top gelcoat layer (but no deeper).
- Page 7 4. At the marked location, use a in. (19 mm) bit to drill a hole for the cable to pass through. 5. Fasten the marine pole mount to the boat (hardware not included). 6. Thread the pole-mount bracket onto the marine pole mount. ➊ Do not overtighten the bracket. 7. Route a NMEA 2000 drop cable through the pole-mount bracket and the pole, and connect the cable to the antenna. 8. Place the antenna on the pole-mount bracket, and twist it clockwise 9. Secure the antenna to the bracket with the included M3 set screw 10. R oute the NMEA 2000 drop cable away from sources of electronic interference. 11. C onnect the antenna to your NMEA 2000 network. 12. A fter the antenna is installed on the pole mount, fill the vertical cable slot with a marine sealant (optional). Mounting the Antenna under a Surface When choosing a location to install the under-deck-mounting bracket, make sure the included screws are not too long for the surface thickness. If the screws are not appropriate for the surface, you must supply the correct length of M4 screws to avoid damage to the top of the mounting surface.

• 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 4000/5000 cable. -

The GPSMAP 4000/5000 series chartplotter is packaged with the necessary NMEA 2000 connectors and cable to either connect the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series chartplotter and 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. Connecting to an Existing nMEA 2000 network If your boat already has a NMEA 2000 network installed, use the included T-connectors and drop cable to connect the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series chartplotter and GPS 17x antenna to the existing network. -

Creating a Basic nMEA 2000 network If your boat does not already have an existing NMEA 2000 network installed, you will need to create a basic NMEA 2000 network. For more information on NMEA 2000, visit www.garmin.com. to create a basic nMEA 2000 network 1. Connect the three included T-connectors together by their sides. -
Page 12: Wiring A Garmin Marine 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 13 NOTES: • Every device connected to the Garmin Marine Network must be connected to the power supply for the boat. These diagrams show the network connections; however, they do not show the power connections. Wire each device according to the appropriate installation instructions.
