GARMIN GC‎ 200 IP Marine Camera

Mounting Considerations

See an 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 set up 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.
