INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION

The GPSMAP 2006C/2010C Multi-Function Display (MFD) and GPS 17 must be properly installed according to the following instructions for
the best possible performance. To complete the installation, you need the appropriate fasteners, tools, and mounts listed in each section. These
items are available at most marine dealers. Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
When drilling or cutting, always check first to see what is on the opposite side of the surface. Mount the GPSMAP 2006C/2010C in a location
that provides a clear, glare-free view of the display and easy operation of the controls. If you experience difficulty installing the unit, contact

Garmin Product Support or seek the assistance of a professional installer.

• Drill bits—1/8" (3 mm) and 3/8" (6 mm)

• 1/16" (2 mm) Allen (Hex) wrench

• Sockets or wrenches

• Hammer

To flush mount the GPSMAP 2006C/2010C:

1. Trim the Flush Mount Template and tape it in the location you want.

2. Using the center punch, indent the center of each mounting hole location.

3. Using an 1/8” (3 mm) drill bit, drill the four mounting holes.

4. Using a 3/8” (6 mm) drill bit, drill a hole for a location to begin cutting the mounting surface.

5. Using the Jig Saw, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the dashed line indicated on the template. Use a file and sandpaper to
refine the size of the hole. Be very careful when cutting this hole. There is only a small amount of clearance between the case

molding and the mounting holes.

6. Install the four mounting studs into unit by screwing the shorter, threaded section into the back of the unit. Use a 1/16” (2 mm) Allen
wrench to tighten the mounting studs until the stop contacts the case. Be careful not to overtighten as this may damage the
mounting stud! The studs have a reusable thread-locking patch
pre-applied from the factory.

7. Place the unit in position in the cut-out of the mounting surface.

8. Place washers over the mounting studs, then thread on one
hex nut per mounting stud. Tighten all four until the unit is snug
against the mounting surface. Install and tighten the second hex
nut set on all four mounting studs to lock the first set in place.

Installing the GPS 17

The GPS 17 can be flush mounted or installed on any standard 1" O.D. (Outer
Dimension), 14 threads-per-inch marine mount. When mounting the GPS 17, the
cable can be run externally or through the mounting panel or through the center of
the marine mount.

The GPS 17 connects to the 18-pin Power/Data Cable on the GPSMAP
2006C/2010C and provides the GPS/WAAS signal for the unit. If two or more
GPSMAP 2006C/2010C units are installed, only one GPS 17 needs to be installed.

NOTE: Mount the antenna at least 3 ft away from

To ensure the best reception, mount the GPS 17 in a location that has a clear,
unobstructed view of the sky in all directions. Avoid mounting the GPS 17 where
it is shaded by the boat’s superstructure, a radome antenna, or mast. Sailboat
users should avoid mounting the unit high on the mast to prevent inaccurate
speed readings caused by excessive heeling. The unit provides more stable
readings if it is located nearer to water level. Mount the GPS 17 at least 3 ft

away from (preferably above) the path of any radar beam or a VHF radio
antenna. Temporarily secure the unit in the desired mounting location and test for

correct operation. With correct operation verified, permanently mount the unit. If
interference with other electronics is experienced, try a different location.

NOTE: Never paint the GPS 17 or clean it with harsh solvents.

Signal Interference

To flush mount the GPS 17:

1. Cut out the Mounting Template provided on page 11, and tape it on the selected mounting location.

2. Mark the center of each mounting hole by tapping the end of a center punch or pointed object with a hammer. If the cable is going to be
installed through the mounting panel, mark the center of the additional hole.

3. Drill the holes using the appropriate drill bit(s).

4. Align the GPS 17 over the mounting holes and fasten using M4 screws. The mounting threads in the GPS 17 are 8.10 mm deep. Do not
use screws that thread into the GPS 17 deeper than 8 mm, or the case may be damaged.

The GPS 17 can be installed with the coax through the panel

or on the outside of the unit. If the coax is run through the

panel, seal the outside exit area with marine sealant.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To attach the enclosed pole mount to the GPS 17:

1. Thread the cable though the pole mount.

2. Align the tab on the mount to the notch on the GPS 17.

3. Use the enclosed screws to secure the mount to the base.

Attaching the Pole Mount to the GPS 17

To mount the GPS 17 with cable outside mount:

1. Place the cable in the vertical slot along the side of the base of
the unit.

2. Screw the GPS 17 onto the mount. DO NOT overtighten the
head. It is possible to over tighten the unit and cut the cable.

3. With the GPS 17 and mount installed, fill the remaining gap in
the cable exit with a marine sealant.

4. Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference.

To mount the GPS 17 with cable through mount:

1. Position the mount in the desired location and mark the
approximate center of the mount.

2. Drill a hole large enough for the cable to pass through.

3. Slide the cable through the mount and screw the GPS 17 onto
the mount.

4. Fasten the mount to the boat.

5. Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference.

Wiring

There are two wiring diagrams provided for you convenience. The first is a simple hook-up showing the GPSMAP 2006/2010 (using the 18­pin wiring harness), the GPS 17 and the alarm circuit. The Alarm does not have to be wired for the unit to function. The second is a complete
wiring diagram showing the GPSMAP 2006/2010 (using the 18-pin wiring harness) interfacing with a variety of different equipment. The extra
5-pin wiring harness that came with the unit is intended for future interfacing features and does not require connection. Refer to the wiring
diagram that will best suite your needs. Make sure that all connections are good. For extra lengths of wire, 24 AWG (unless otherwise noted on
wiring diagram), shielded, twisted-pair wiring is recommended. We advise soldering all connections and sealing the connection with heat shrink
tubing. If you experience difficulty wiring the unit, please contact an installation professional in your area.

Final Wiring Connection

Once all the wiring is complete, plug the 18-pin harness into the center connector on the backside of the GPSMAP 2006/2010. The 5-pin port
on the right side is intended for future interfacing features and does not require connection at this time.

With power applied to the circuit, you may test the installation by pressing the

POWER key on the front of the unit. See the Owner’s

Manual for steps on initializing the receiver.
