Installing the Fishfinder 340C to a Garmin CANet
The Fishfinder 340C is a CANet compatible sonar device. Using
the CANet - if applicable - optimizes the performance of CANet-
compatible units, allowing sonar information from the Fishfinder
340C to be shared with up to two CANet compatible Garmin
GPS units. A standard NMEA connection only allows depth,
temperature, and speed information to be sent to a single GPS
device, where a CANet connection provides full sonar readings,
including Ultrascroll, so you can view and control the same
information on your compatible GPS unit(s) as you can on your
Fishfinder 340C.
NOTE: To use the Garmin CANet with your Fishfinder 340C,
you need to obtain a CANet Kit. Contact your Garmin dealer,
or visit www.garmin.com.
Included Equipment in a CANet Kit:
• 40 ft (12.19 m) CANet Extension Cable
• 2 CANet Terminators
• 7 3-Wire Connectors
NOTE: The CANet Kit contain installation instructions as
well. If you need additional help, please contact Garmin
Product Support.

display units and one sonar unit.
• The maximum length of cable from the CANet Extension
Cable to the sonar or display units is 6 ft.
• Refer to the chartplotter's installation instructions for wiring
the GPS 17 sensor and other devices.
• Ground the drain wire on the first display unit. Do not
ground the drain wire on the subsequent display units or the
sonar unit.
• The CANet Extension Cable Black wire is reserved for
future use. When inserting a CANet unit on the CANet
Extension Cable, reconnect all wires according to their color.
