{"product_id":"qbp814904","title":"Garmin Quarter-Turn Locking Collar, Two-Piece Split, For 11mm Cables","description":"\u003ch6\u003eOverview\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Garmin K00-00494-01 is a quarter-turn locking collar that lets you route compatible Garmin cables through tight spaces and add the collar after the connector is already behind the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is especially useful when a newer Garmin cable arrives without the collar pre-installed, or when a collar went missing during a refit. Because the collar comes as a two-piece design, you can avoid drilling oversized holes just to pass a fixed connector through a bulkhead or behind cabinetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-piece collar installs around the connector after the cable is routed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps avoid large cutouts when feeding connectors behind the dash or through cabinetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuarter-turn locking action secures the connection on compatible Garmin ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUseful replacement when a locking collar is missing or was not installed on the cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eCompatibility and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collar is for Garmin connections that use a quarter-turn locking collar system. If your connection uses a threaded ring or another retaining method, this part will not seat or lock correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen replacing a missing collar, compare the connector style on both the device and cable so you do not reopen the helm twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and setup\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eRoute the connector through your pass-through first, then place the two collar halves around the connector and close them together. After the connector is plugged into the device, rotate the collar a quarter turn to lock it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupport the cable so the connector is not carrying weight or getting pulled as the boat moves. Leaving a small service loop behind the dash makes service work and winter layup much less frustrating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse cases on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part makes the most sense on helm refits where access is tight and cable runs have to snake through cabinetry without enlarging existing holes. It is also a smart spare for anyone who regularly disconnects electronics for troubleshooting and wants a quick way to replace a misplaced collar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eMaintenance and care\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf the collar is exposed to salt spray, rinse with fresh water and let it dry before reconnecting. Any time the connector is unplugged and re-seated, confirm the collar is fully engaged so vibration does not work the connection loose over time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Garmin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52269314343093,"sku":"QBP814904","price":3.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0977\/8171\/1029\/files\/1299573_qbp814904.jpg?v=1771543297","url":"https:\/\/www.qualityboatparts.com\/products\/qbp814904","provider":"Quality Boat Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
