- Safety Requirement: Garmin recommends pairing this setup with a 60A continuous circuit breaker in the positive lead to protect the system.
Installation Highlights
- Hole Size: Installation typically requires drilling or expanding an existing hole to 1 3/4 inches.
- Wiring: The receptacle uses robust internal terminals (often requiring an Allen key) to secure heavy-gauge wires. Ensure you use the appropriate wire gauge for your total run length to prevent voltage drop.
