This adapter is specific to those connector types and does not fit other Garmin sonar connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdapts a 4-pin transducer connection to a 12-pin sonar port for compatible Garmin marine displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps the transducer cable intact so you avoid splicing and redoing terminations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommon fit for Garmin echoMAP and GPSMAP units that use a 12-pin sonar connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandy for troubleshooting and equipment swaps when you need to separate a transducer issue from a display issue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis cable is for Garmin transducers that terminate in a 4-pin connector and Garmin marine displays with a 12-pin sonar port. If your display uses an 8-pin sonar connector, or your transducer lead is not 4-pin, this is not the correct adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe adapter changes the physical connection only. Sonar features and performance depend on the transducer and the head unit you are pairing together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlan to keep the connection in a dry location such as behind the helm or inside the console. Route the cable so it cannot chafe on fiberglass edges, and secure it so the connectors are not carrying the weight of the transducer lead in rough water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePower the electronics off, connect the 12-pin end to the unit, then connect the transducer lead to the 4-pin end. Seat both connectors fully and secure any locking rings, then leave a small service loop so vibration does not work the plugs loose over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a good match for anglers and cruisers who already have a transducer installed and wired with a 4-pin plug, and are moving to a Garmin display that expects a 12-pin sonar connection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269264044213,"sku":"QBP365779","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299167_qbp365779.jpg?v=1771542919","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp365779","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
