Overview
The Garmin 010-03855-00 is a GPSMAP 1523xsv ultrawide chartplotter and fishfinder with SideVü, ClearVü, and traditional CHIRP sonar plus a worldwide basemap.
It uses a 15-inch ultrawide IPS touchscreen with 1920 x 720 resolution and a viewable area of 13.6 x 5.1 inches (14.5-inch diagonal). Power input is 10 to 32 Vdc, so it fits typical 12V and 24V boat systems.
This unit has a built-in sounder (up to 1 kW output), but it still needs a compatible transducer to transmit and receive sonar. A transducer is not included with this part number.
Key features
- 15-inch ultrawide IPS touchscreen with 1920 x 720 resolution and polarized sunglasses viewability

- Typical current draw 2.44 A at 12 Vdc; maximum current draw 4.21 A at 12 Vdc
- Built-in SideVü, ClearVü, and traditional CHIRP sonar support with 1 kW output, plus Panoptix and LiveScope compatibility
- Two Garmin Marine Network ports for connecting compatible network accessories
- NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 compatibility, plus a J1939 port for compatible engine data sharing

- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (BLE) support for pairing with compatible devices
Compatibility and fit
Overall size is 15.3 x 7.02 x 3.3 inches and weight is 7.2 lb. Plan for rear clearance for the power lead, network cabling, and access to the two microSD slots on the back of the unit.
Mounting options include bail, flush, or flat mounting. A thin flush-mount kit with gasket is included; flat-mount installs typically involve custom work at the helm.
Electrical and system integration
With a 10 to 32 Vdc input range, the unit can be wired to standard 12V or 24V house systems. For load planning, it draws about 2.44 A at 12 Vdc in typical use and up to 4.21 A at 12 Vdc, with maximum power usage listed at 56.93 W (at 10 Vdc).
NMEA 2000 and NMEA 0183 connections support sharing navigation and instrument data with compatible onboard electronics. It also includes a 2 m NMEA 2000 backbone/drop cable and a T-connector to tie into an existing network.
Sonar and transducer notes
The GPSMAP 1523xsv has a built-in sounder with a 12-pin transducer port. A compatible transducer is required for SideVü, ClearVü, and traditional CHIRP sonar functions and is not included with this part number.
An 8-pin transducer to 12-pin sounder adapter cable is included, which can help when reusing an existing 8-pin transducer on a new install.
On-board use
The ultrawide screen works well when you want chart and sonar side-by-side without stacking multiple displays. It fits center consoles, sportfishers, and cruisers where the helm benefits from a wide, split-screen layout and quick touch control.
