• 37mm (1
1
/
2
in.) hole saw
• #1 Phillips bit or screwdriver

• #2 Phillips bit or screwdriver
Mounting Considerations
When selecting a mounting location, observe these considerations.
• You must select a mounting location with at least 60 mm (2
12
/
32
in.) of clearance behind the bulkhead.
• You must select a mounting location that a transducer extension cable can reach from your sonar module.
LiveScope transducer extension cables in various lengths are available from your Garmin

Mounting the Connector
1 Route the transducer extension cable to the mounting location.
2 Using a 37mm (1
1
/
2
in.) hole saw, drill a cable-passthrough hole in the mounting surface.
3 If you have access to the space behind the mounting surface, feed the transducer extension cable through
the mounting nut .
4 Feed the extension cable through the hole in the bulkhead .
5 Feed the extension cable through the hole in the self-adhesive gasket with the adhesive lining facing
away from the mounting surface.
6 Place the extension cable connector into one half of the connector holder .
The front of the connector holder must fit in the groove around the connector. The
rear of the connector holder must slide completely between the strain relief ribs on the
connector.
7 If you need to prevent water ingress through the connector holder, apply marine
sealant to the groove on both halves of the connector holder, forming a seal with
each other and with the extension cable connector, and place the connector into
the connector holder again, maintaining the correct alignment.
8 Snap together the two halves of the connector holder around the extension cable.
9 Using a #1 Phillips screwdriver, secure the halves of the connector holder to each
other with the included 8 mm (
5
/
16
in.) screws .
10 Peel the adhesive liner off of the self-adhesive gasket, and attach the gasket to the connector holder, aligning
the mounting holes on the connector holder and gasket.
11 Push the connector holder into the bulkhead.
12 Select an option:
• If you have access to the space behind the mounting surface, tighten the mounting nut to the back of
the connector holder until it is secured to the mounting surface, and install the finish plate (Installing the
Finish Plate, page3).
• If you do not have access to the space behind the mounting surface, secure the connector holder using
the included mounting screws (Securing the Connector using Screws, page3).

Securing the Connector using Screws
NOTE: You must assemble the bulkhead connector and secure it to the extension cable before you secure it to
the surface using screws.
NOTICE
If you mounted the bulkhead connector using the mounting nut, do not install the mounting screws. Attempting
to use both the mounting nut and the mounting screws may damage the product.
If you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling the pilot holes, use a countersink bit to drill a
clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer
when the screws are tightened.
1 Mark the locations of the four mounting holes, using the connector holder as a template.
2 Remove the connector holder from the bulkhead.
NOTICE
To avoid damaging the connector holder, you should not drill the pilot holes through the bracket.
3 Using a 2.7mm (
3
/
32
in.) drill bit, drill pilot holes for the four mounting screws.
NOTICE
To minimize the risk of damaging the transducer extension cable, avoid drilling deeper than the thickness of the
mounting surface.
4 Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, secure the connector holder to the mounting surface with the included 20
mm (
25
/
32
in.) screws.
Installing the Finish Plate
1 Place the weather cap retaining ring around the connector, with the
weather cap hanging down .
2 Snap the finish plate onto the connector holder with the Garmin
logo right side up.
Make sure the weather cap tether band is aligned with the groove on
the bottom of the finish plate.
