Garmin ECHOMAP Plus 94sv Unboxing & Installation (How To)

I picked up a new Garmin ECHOMAP Plus 94sv with a GT51M-TM transducer to replace my old GPSMAP unit. In this video I walk through an unboxing/install of the entire system, and overcoming a few complications experienced during the process.

New boat owner here and looking at a bunch of DIY videos. This was very informative and very helpful in building confidence to doing tasks on my own.

Thanks for the video. I am Intending to replace my Garmin tomorrow. After watching your detailed video, I'm feeling much more confident about what I will be doing.

Thank you for the string idea. I was having a lot of anxiety before that. It made life so easy running the wire for my 74SV.

Albert ... nice job. Just installed 2 UHD 73sv’s on my bass boat. Using the RJ-45 to connect the two allowing either to see the other’s transducer. Yes, also that port would support the Panoptics hookup.

Nice clean install. I might be installing this same unit in my Pathfinder 2200v tomorrow on NASP. First time messing around with one. Bit anything will be better than the Lowrance originally installed on the boat in 2000. I keep my boat at the marina by the front gate.

You did a great job. I have a Garmin 4212 I need to replace. I used Boat Outfitters for my rocker switch panel too. They do good work. Thanks for your video.

It's a good idea to always pull another jet line (pull string) through each time so you always have one if you need it. Also, I use a small plastic bag on the connector end before using tape, it keeps the connector free of residue.

I like using transom savers for the issue you had with the transducer. That way it doesn’t matter if holes don’t align.

Great video! I have the same setup that I am putting in a Robalo R230. Removing an old 4212 Garmin.

Great video. About to install this on my skiff

Gaskets are for the inside of the cover? That is what I have done with them but don’t flush mount so maybe not.

Great detail to the video...very helpful as i am about to install mine.
