Garmin Marine Network Considerations

used for Garmin Marine Network connections.
Additional Garmin Marine Network cables and connectors
are available from your Garmin dealer.
Although it is not recommended, you can use a field-
installable connector to create a custom-length Garmin
Marine Network cable if necessary. Follow the directions
provided with the connector.
