Description
The Garmin Boat Switch brings the integrated-boat experience to compatible GPSMAP and ECHOMAP chartplotters, replacing rows of physical switches and fuse panels with digital control on the helm display. As a pre-configured module it connects to the NMEA 2000 network and to the vessel's circuits through two supplied wiring harnesses, ready to operate up to 20 circuits with minimal setup.
Channels provide latching, dimmable and momentary outputs, so you can run navigation and anchor lighting, bilge and livewell pumps, interior lights and accessories, along with always-on feeds. The module also monitors up to four tanks and battery voltage, reporting levels back to the chartplotter. Software fuses protect every channel and can be reset from the display or the hard keys on the unit, and the rugged IPX65 polycarbonate housing suits permanent installation. A dedicated 50 A power feed is required, as the unit does not draw power from the NMEA 2000 backbone.
