Overview
The Garmin 010-13298-00 is a USB-C to bare wire power cable for adding a hardwired power connection to a compatible Garmin device on a 12 V or 24 V DC system. It is a practical option when the device needs power from the boat’s electrical system instead of a loose adapter or temporary outlet connection.
The USB-C end connects to the Garmin device, while the bare wire end allows connection into a properly protected DC circuit. On a boat, this type of cable is useful at a helm, console, cabin station, or other fixed mounting location where cable routing and a cleaner installation matter.
Key features
- USB-C to bare wire power cable for compatible Garmin devices.
- Works with 12 V and 24 V DC systems commonly found on small boats, fishing boats, cruisers, and workboats.
- Bare wire end supports a hardwired installation through the vessel’s electrical system.
- Useful for fixed device setups where a loose charger or accessory socket is not wanted.
- Helps keep the power run cleaner at the helm, console, or cabin station.
Installation and setup
This cable should be wired into a suitable DC power source with the correct polarity, circuit protection, and routing for the location. As with any boat electronics installation, keep the run away from sharp edges, hot surfaces, steering movement, and areas where standing water can collect.
Before cutting, terminating, or energizing the circuit, confirm the Garmin device is compatible with this USB-C power cable and that the boat’s supply voltage is within the 12 V or 24 V system range supported by the cable.
Compatibility and fit
This is a power cable, not a marine network cable. It is meant to supply power to a compatible Garmin device through a USB-C connection, so it should not be treated as an NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183, Ethernet, sonar, or data-network connection.
For replacement or new installation work, match the device’s connector type before ordering. The key fit points are a compatible Garmin device with USB-C power input and a vessel power system using 12 V or 24 V DC.
Use cases on board
This cable suits boaters who want a cleaner power connection for a compatible Garmin device used at a fixed station. It is especially useful when the device stays on board for navigation support, communication backup, trip tracking, or general cockpit and cabin use.
