INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Mounting Considerations
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other
important information.
You can mount the camera upside-down or sideways. You can reverse the camera image to use in rearview
mode. See your chartplotter owner's manual for instructions.
NOTE: You must update your chartplotter software to setup and view the camera feed on your chartplotter.
• You must mount the camera in a location where it is not submerged, does not present a hazard in doorways
or walkways, and cannot be damaged by docks, pilings, or other pieces of equipment.
• You should mount the camera in a location strong enough to support the weight of the device and where you
can remove the camera.
• You should mount the camera so the LED is visible and the cables can be connected easily.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, do not mount the camera closer to a compass than the
compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications.
• You should test the camera in the selected location before you permanently mount the camera.
• You can use the Garmin
®
Power Module to help make the installation easier. The Power Module uses a single
camera cable instead of separate power and ethernet cables. This is especially beneficial when the camera is
located far away from other electronics, such as near the bow or on a mast.
Tools Needed
• Drill and 2mm (
1
/
16
in.) drill bit

Connection Considerations
Networking Considerations
This device uses Garmin BlueNet
™
networking technology, and is compatible with both Garmin BlueNet devices
and Garmin Marine Network devices. For more information about Garmin BlueNet technology, including best
practices for constructing a network including both Garmin BlueNet devices and Garmin Marine Network
devices, go to garmin.com/manuals/bluenet/.
Before connecting this device to the network, observe the following considerations:
• If your boat is equipped with a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter, you should use the included Garmin BlueNet
cable to connect the GC 200 device to an open network port or to a Garmin BlueNet 20 switch.
• If your boat is equipped with a Garmin BlueNet chartplotter and uses a Garmin BlueNet 30 gateway to
connect Garmin Marine Network devices, you can connect the GC 200 device directly to a Garmin BlueNet
device, or you can connect it to a Garmin Marine Network device using the Garmin Marine Network adapter
cable
1
. Routing the GC 200 device through the legacy side of your marine network does not impact its
performance.
• If your boat is equipped with only Garmin Marine Network devices, you must use the included Garmin Marine
Network adapter cable
1
to connect the GC 200 device to your network.

If a Garmin Marine Network adapter cable is not supplied in the product box, you can purchase one from your local Garmin dealer (part number 010-12531-01)
or online at garmin.com/accessories/GMNAdapterCable.
