Garmin ECHOMAP™ Ultra 2 16xsv Installation Instructions
Important Safety Information
⚠ WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the inline fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of personal injury or product damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. Connecting the power cable without the appropriate fuse in place voids the product warranty.
Failure to install this device according to these instructions could result in personal injury, damage to the vessel or device, or poor product performance.
⚠ CAUTION
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device and vessel, disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning to install the device.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device or vessel, before applying power to the device, make sure that it has been properly grounded, following the instructions in the guide.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to this device and vessel, only install this device when the vessel is on land, or when properly secured and docked in calm water conditions.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin® Product Support.

Ground screw: For grounding the device.
Software Update
You may need to update the chartplotter software after installation. For instructions, see the owner's manual at garmin.com/manuals/echomap_ultra_2_16xsv.
Mounting Considerations
You can flush mount the device in the dashboard or use the bail mount on the dashboard. When selecting a mounting location, consider the following:
- The location must provide a clear view of the screen and access to the device keys.
- The location must be sturdy enough to support the device and mount.
- Cables must be long enough to connect all components and power.
- To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, do not install the device closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications.
Bail Mounting the Device
NOTICE
If mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer to prevent cracking when tightening screws.
You can use the bracket to bail mount the device on a flat surface.
- Using the bail-mount bracket ① as a template, mark the pilot holes ②.
- Using a 3 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.
- Secure the bail-mount bracket to the surface using the included washers and wood screws ③.
- Install the bail-mount knobs ④ on the sides of the device.
- Place the device in the bail-mount bracket and tighten the bail-mount knobs.
- Install the trim caps by snapping them in place around the edges of the device.

Flush Mounting the Device
NOTICE
Be careful when cutting the hole for flush mounting. There is limited clearance between the case and mounting holes, and cutting too large a hole can compromise device stability.
Using a metal pry tool like a screwdriver can damage trim caps and the device. Use a plastic pry tool when possible.
You can mount the device in your dashboard using the flush-mount template and included screws.
- Secure the template to the mounting location.
- Using a 8.5 mm (11/32 in.) drill bit, drill holes inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
- Using a jigsaw or rotary cutting tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the solid line indicated on the template.
- Place the device into the cutout to test the fit.
- If necessary, use a file or sandpaper to refine the cutout size.
- Use a pry tool (e.g., a flat piece of plastic or screwdriver) to carefully pry up the corners of the trim caps and remove them.
- Place the device in the cutout, ensuring the device's mounting holes align with the template's pilot holes.
- If the device's mounting holes do not align, mark new hole locations.
- Using a 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.
- Remove the template from the mounting surface.
- Install the rubber gasket ① on the back of the device. Ensure protective liners are removed before installation.
- Connect all necessary cables (see Connector View, page 2), and turn the locking rings clockwise to secure each cable before placing the device into the cutout.
NOTICE
To prevent corrosion of metal contacts, cover unused connectors with the attached weather caps.
- Place the device into the cutout.
- Secure the device to the mounting surface using the included screws.
- Install the trim caps by snapping them in place around the edges of the device.

Connection Considerations
After connecting cables, tighten the locking rings to secure each cable.
Connecting the Device to a Transducer
Go to garmin.com/transducers or contact your local Garmin dealer to determine the appropriate transducer type.
NOTE: If using an existing transducer with a different pin connector, a transducer cable adapter may be needed. Visit garmin.com for adapter information.
- Follow the instructions provided with your transducer for correct installation.
- Route the transducer cable to the back of your device, away from sources of electrical interference.
- Align the divot on the transducer cable connector with the keying on the 12 PIN XDCR port on the back of the device.
NOTICE
Align cable connector holes with cable port pins. Misalignment can damage devices.
- Push the connector firmly into the port until fully seated.
If the device behaves erratically, the cable connector may not be fully seated. Disconnect, check pin alignment, and re-insert firmly.
Network Connection Considerations and Requirements
The NETWORK port connects to compatible Garmin devices like LiveScope™ transducers, GCV™ sonar modules, or other ECHOMAP chartplotters. It is not compatible with Garmin BlueNet™ or Garmin Marine Network devices like GPSMAP® chartplotters or Garmin radar.
When connecting to the NETWORK port, observe these requirements:
- All devices connected to the NETWORK port must share the same ground. If using multiple power sources, tie ground connections together using a low-resistance connection or a common ground bus bar.
- Use only Garmin network cables for NETWORK port connections.
- Do not use third-party CAT5e/CAT6 Ethernet cables or RJ45 connectors.
Additional Garmin network cables and connectors are available from Garmin dealers. A field-installable connector can be used for custom-length cables, following the connector's instructions.
NMEA 2000 Considerations
NOTICE
When connecting to an existing NMEA 2000 network, ensure only one NMEA 2000 power cable is used.
A NMEA 2000 Power Isolator (010-11580-00) is recommended for installations with unknown NMEA 2000 network manufacturers.
If installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, connect it to the boat's ignition switch or an in-line switch. Connecting directly to the battery can drain it.
You can connect your device to a NMEA 2000 network to share data with compatible devices like GPS antennas or VHF radios. NMEA 2000 cables and connectors are sold separately.
This device is not powered through the NMEA 2000 network; it requires a separate power source.
For NMEA 2000 information, refer to the Technical Reference for NMEA 2000 Products at garmin.com/manuals/nmea_2000.
The NMEA 2000 port on the cradle connects to a standard NMEA 2000 network.

HDMI Out Video Considerations
NOTICE
To prevent corrosion due to moisture, use Garmin accessory cables when connecting the chartplotter to a video display. Using different cables voids your warranty.
The ECHOMAP Ultra 2 16xsv can duplicate its screen on another device (e.g., television, monitor) via HDMI out.
The Garmin HDMI accessory cable is 4.5 m (15 ft.) long. For longer runs, use an active HDMI cable. An HDMI coupler is needed to connect two HDMI cables. All cable connections must be made in a dry environment.
