Garmin GPSMAP 5215 Installation Instructions Manual
The GPSMAP 4000/5000 series chartplotter comes with a power cable, a NMEA 2000 drop cable, a 19-pin NMEA 0183 data cable, and a
17-pin Marine Video cable. Optional Garmin Marine Network components use specialized Garmin Network cables. Depending on the
installation, it may be necessary to drill holes to route the connector end of these cables.
Garmin rubber grommets are provided to cover these holes for a finished look.
You may not need the grommets in some installations. The grommets do NOT create a
waterproof seal. Apply a marine sealant around the grommet and cable after installation.
Be sure to test the system before installing and sealing the grommets. Purchase additional
grommets from your Garmin dealer or directly from Garmin at www.garmin.com.

3. Refer to the diagram for trimming instructions. Carefully trim the cable hole in the
grommet, as needed.
4. Route the cable to the chartplotter, and test the system.
5. Spread the grommet apart at the split and place it around the cable.
6. Firmly push the grommet into the installation hole until it is seated. Apply marine
sealant, as needed, to weatherproof the cable.

Installing Locking rings on the Cables

To help make the cable-routing process easier, the locking rings are packaged separately from the cables. Each locking ring is packaged in a
small bag with a number on the label for easy identification. After you route the cables, use the following table to identify the correct locking
ring for each cable:
NOTES:
• The NMEA 2000 cables and connectors come with the locking rings pre-installed. Do not remove the locking ring from a NMEA 2000 cable
while routing the cable.
• Optional Garmin Marine Network components use specialized Garmin Network cables (not included). Each network cable is also
packaged with a separate locking ring, in a bag labeled with a
GPSMAP 4000/5000 cable.
Installing a locking ring on a cable:
1. Route the cable away from sources of electronic interference so that the cable connector is at the mounting location of the chartplotter.
2. Use the table above to identify the correct locking ring for the cable, and locate the locking ring bag by number.
3. Separate the two halves of the locking ring.
4. Align the two halves of the locking ring over the cable and snap them together.
