Installation Instructions
Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
CAUTION
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask
when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface.
• The mounting location should be at or below eye level to
provide optimal viewing as you operate your vessel.
• The mounting surface must be strong enough to support the
weight of the device and protect it from excessive vibration or
shock.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device
should not be installed closer to a compass than the
compass-safe distance value listed in the product
specifications.
• The area behind the mounting surface must allow room for
the routing and connection of the cables.
Mounting the Device
Trim the flush-mount template and ensure it will fit in the
1
location where you plan to mount the marine instrument.
The flush-mount template is included in the product box.
Secure the template to the selected mounting location.
2
Using a 44 mm (1 3/4 in.) hole saw or rotary cutting tool, cut
3
the hole in the center of the template.
Drill the 4.5 mm (3/16 in.) mounting holes.
4
Remove the remainder of the template.
5
Install the threaded rods À in the back of the marine
6
instrument.

Installing the Device
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. Extended
exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature
range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device
failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related
consequences are not covered by the warranty.
The mounting surface must be flat to avoid damaging the device
when it is mounted.
When selecting a mounting location, observe these
considerations.
Place the included gasket Á on the back of the device.
7
You should apply marine sealant around the gasket to
prevent leakage behind the dashboard (recommended).
Place the marine instrument into the cutout Â.
8
Securely fasten the marine instrument from behind the
9
mounting surface by tightening the supplied thumb nuts à on
the threaded rods.
Connect the NMEA 2000® drop cable and route it to your
10
NMEA 2000 backbone.
Snap the bezel into place.
11
Connection Considerations
The marine instrument connects to power and to data sources
through a NMEA 2000 network.
Although the instrument cannot directly receive NMEA® 0183
data, it can display NMEA 0183 data from sources connected to
a GNX 20 or GNX 21 device (sold separately) on the same
NMEA 2000 network.
The instrument can also receive data from Nexus® instruments
and sensors using a GND™ 10 device (sold separately).
NMEA 2000 Connection Considerations
NOTICE
If you have an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, it
should already be connected to power. Do not connect the
NMEA 2000 power cable to an existing NMEA 2000 network,
because only one power source should be connected to a
NMEA 2000 network.

Printed in Taiwan 190-01846-02_0A
If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must
connect it to the boat ignition switch or through another in-line
switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA
2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.
The marine instrument connects to a NMEA 2000 network on
your boat. The NMEA 2000 network provides power to the
marine instrument and data from NMEA 2000 devices such as a
wind sensor. The included NMEA 2000 cables and connectors
allow you to either connect the device to your existing NMEA
2000 network or create a basic NMEA 2000 network if needed.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the
“NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the Technical
Reference for NMEA 2000 Products. To download the
reference, go to www.garmin.com/manuals/GNX120.
