cutting, or sanding.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device and vessel, disconnect the vessel's power supply
before beginning to install the device.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device or vessel, before applying power to the device, make
sure that it has been properly grounded, following the instructions in the guide.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to this device and vessel, only install this device when the vessel is
on land, or when properly secured and docked in calm water conditions.

    • In Europe, call +44 (0) 870 850 1241. Software Update You may need to update the chartplotter software after installation. For the instructions on how to update the software, see the owner's manual at garmin.com/manuals/gpsmap7x3-9x3-12x3-16x3/. Mounting Considerations NOTICE This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range for this device is listed in the product specifications.
  • Page 5: Bail Mounting The Device

    Bail Mounting the Device NOTICE If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened.
  • Page 6 8 After the device fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the mounting holes on the device line up with the hole locations on the template. NOTE: GPSMAP 12x3 and GPSMAP 16x3 models have six mounting holes. GPSMAP 9x3 and GPSMAP 7x3 models have four mounting holes.
  • Page 7 Metal screws (drill and tap): M3 Wood screws (drill): 3.2 mm (  in.) GPSMAP 16x3 Metal screws (drill and tap): M4 2 Install the foam gasket on the back of the device. The pieces of the foam gasket have adhesive on the back. Make sure you remove the protective liner before installing them on the device.
  • Page 8 On GPSMAP 7x3, GPSMAP 9x3, and GPSMAP 12x3 devices, the raised portion of the nut plate should fit into the smaller hole. On GPSMAP 16x3 devices, the raised portion of the nut plate should fit into the larger hole. 8 Secure the nut plates to the mounting surface by fastening the pan head machine screws through the holes with the raised portion of the nut plate.
  • Page 9: Connection Considerations

    9 Install the foam gasket on the back of the device. The pieces of the foam gasket have adhesive on the back. Make sure you remove the protective liner before installing them on the device. 10 If you will not have access to the back of the device after you mount it, connect all necessary cables and install microSD cards in the back of the device before placing it into the cutout.

NOTE: The power wires on this cable are red (+) and black (-). The other wires on this cable are used for other, optional connections and are not shown in this diagram.
  • Page 12: Garmin Marine Network Considerations

    • The NETWORK ports on the device each act as a network switch. Any compatible device can be connected to any NETWORK port to share data with all devices on the boat connected by a Garmin Marine Network cable. NMEA 2000 Considerations NOTICE If you are connecting to an existing NMEA 2000 network, identify the NMEA 2000 power cable.

  • Page 16 Lamp and Horn Connections The device can be used with a lamp, a horn, or both, to sound or flash an alert when the chartplotter displays a message. This is optional, and the alarm wire is not necessary for the device to function normally. When connecting the device to a lamp or horn, observe these considerations.
  • Page 17: J1939 Engine Network Connection Considerations

    • The CVBS IN port uses a BNC connector. You can use a BNC to RCA adapter to connect a composite-video source with RCA connectors to the CVBS IN port. • Video is shared across the Garmin Marine Network, but it is not shared across the NMEA 2000 network.
  • Page 18 The Garmin GPSMAP HDMI accessory cable is 4.5 m (15 ft.) long. If you need a longer cable, you should use an active HDMI cable only. You need an HDMI coupler to connect the two HDMI cables.
