In my album. Running the wires for it all was the challenge , had to take a lot a part .

Good job... well done.

Talking about cameras I have to add the following.

If you were to add 4 cameras (bow, stern, port & starboard) and have their image data consolidated and stitched via a software program it's possible to get a birds eye view of the complete boat. This same technique is being used on some cars and in fact I was at my local Volvo dealership the other week and they had such a camera system on their new MY2016 XC90. It was truly amazing and it really was as if someone was 50 feet above the car with a wide angle lens looking straight down on the car. The screen inside the car showed every thing around the car making parking, reverse parking etc a breeze and without there ever being a chance for hitting something, such as another car beside you, a small animal and a crawling child.

Hello Dave,

What make/model camera is that?

I like your clean installation.

No one can sneak up on you now!

That's pretty cool. Was it difficult to interface it with the display?

this is the Garmin GC 10 Marine Camera reverse image . I had to take my time with the install , no wires or screws are visible from the inside . but it was pretty simple to do the interfacing with the raymarine unit , plug and play there.

Install parts list all from amazon Prime:
1 x Garmin GC 10 Marine Camera reverse image
1 x Garmin 15m Video extension cable
1 x BNC Male to BNC Male Adapter
1 x small bottle 3M 5200 Marine Adhesive Sealant.

Good job. I really like the rear view in motion and the 3 window display. Wish my Garmin did that. Or does it?

What model Garmin do you have ? Since the GC-10 is made by Garmin I would assume so . it also depends if you have the free ports in your network . My boat already had the Raymarine IP network , but I didn't use that for this install since I had the free video ports on the back of this unit .

I have always used raymarine , but I would gladly switch to Garmin for the auto routing feature on the GPS and Autopilot ,they have on the new touchscreens ,
