I have a 2002 240 DA which is new to me!
The boat came with an ancient Garmin GPS, the Garmin 215. I decided that I wanted something new, so I bought a Garmin 545s.
Unfortunately, the old power/data cable for the 215 did not fit the new 545s. The pins are setup differently.
Does anyone know if there is an adapter? Or do I have to take apart the dash and install a new power/data cable?
ALSO, the existing cable for the 215 is run through a hole on top of my dash to the left of my compass (see pic). If I have to change this cable, what is the best way to access it? Remove the dash gauge panel or open the hinged panel below the steering wheel?
Thanks,
Ed
