How to install the Garmin 65cv Echomap unit onto a Seadoo Gtx300.
We chose not to install the transducer/sounder as navigation is out priority.

[@peterjames1975]

Just installed my Garmin Echomap on my 2022 GTX300 Your video was perfect . Ordered a bracket from a guy in NZ for my transducer. Planning a ride across the Manitou Straits to North Manitou Island for a 3 night camping adventure. Look me up when your in town !

[@brendancache]

Thanks for the feedback…good luck with your adventure

[@s.k7770]

I ordered the exact bracket! Waiting to get it in to install the transducer but I already installed the garmin unit. Where’d you run the transducer cable through?

[@michaelwelechenko5490]

Love the post , got the same ski and want to do the same thing . I’m located Center of Canada and ride lake of the woods ( is the name of the lake ) cheers!

[@orlandorodriguez8507]

Thanks for sharing... I'm looking forward to adding this same setup to my Sea Doo!

[@deplorablechump8758]

Installed touch-screen Garmin Echomap UHD 74sv. Recommend using a ACC harness because it makes the installation much easier.

[@s.k7770]

Just did this an hour ago with the ACC harness and it was super easy. Waiting to get a bracket in the mail so I can mount the transducer to the transom then it’ll be all complete but I was surprised how easy it was. In total unscrewed 4 screws

[@flytyme6667]

Thanks for the video mate, will be doing this on my 300 very soon !

[@Dr_Flankensteinn]

Nice Video! I recently installed the Garmin Echomap GPS 74sv on my 2020 GTX230 - fit like a glove and all touchscreen! You don't need the extra wiring harness as you tap into the stereo power lines -

[@s.k7770]

Did you buy the unit from Sea-Doo?

[@Dr_Flankensteinn]

@@s.k7770 no I purchased from West Marine runs sales time to time $699

[@s.k7770]

@@Dr_Flankensteinn what about the mirror mount?

[@Dr_Flankensteinn]

@@s.k7770 you lose the mirror you have to get the FishPro kit - I never use my mirrors they are too small/low and moving at 65mph you wanna look around ;)

Nice work ! Look fwd to seeing some more videos out on the water etc 👍✅

[@shotbychristo]

Good video. I need one on my GTI

Sidemounts are unimaginative

[@jetspearo]

Nice work, hope to do the same on a 300 soon :)

[@deplorablechump8758]

Brenden, can you list the parts in this video? What is the power adapter that you chose not to use? Thanks

[@QUARTODOBATERA]

Top 👏👏👏👏

[@Jcreek201]

You wouldn’t believe how helpful this video was to me! Thank you! Can you tell what screw you used at 4:53? Is that the M6?

[@brendancache]

Yes …the black screw is the M6

[@Jcreek201]

@@brendancache Cheers, thank you!

[@jnasjr]

A friendly question. I am still learning. Why you are not using the navigation feature included in your main screen panel? Just to know your thoughts on it. Perhaps you need a bigger screen or you are creating a redundant system increasing safety.

[@brendancache]

The main screen on the Seadoo ?? That app for that screen doesn’t offer any MARINE navigation. IE. channel markers etc .

[@jacklewis100]

Useful thanks. Just to be clear though, as I couldn't quite see, once fitted, you can't see the wing mirror any more ?

[@brendancache]

The garmin unit replaces the wing Mirror

[@makinawake9178]

Another newbie here don't have one yet but very interested in the adventure touring aspect of pwcs.. Curious why choose the 300, looks like you are fishing why not get the fishpro or similar?

[@brendancache]

I couldn’t catch a fish in a trout farm mate 😂. I chose the 300 for the features and extra power if I want to go faster. I can always go slower on GTX300 ….

[@makinawake9178]

@@brendancache thank you for reply for the record I think I have the same fishing gene 😁

[@oldvillagetactical8347]

How in the #!Q%#!$ did you get the GPS mount cover off? Struggling with that on an install today. What's the trick?! Do you just pry it off? I can't tell from any internet resource how it's secured/removed. Thanks for the vid.

[@logifinirator]

Cool setup! Do you know if that mount would work on other year/model Sea Doos? I have 2015 Sea Doo GTI SE 155 Thanks!

[@brendancache]

I think the bracket only suits 2018 onwards. The st3 hulls

[@traviscoffman8912]

Does this abstruct your view at all? How well can you see it when your underway?

[@brendancache]

@@traviscoffman8912 …not in the slightest

[@traviscoffman8912]

Where can I purchase the mount?

[@traviscoffman8912]

Nevermind I missed the part where he showed the part numbers

[@deplorablechump8758]

Great job. Do you install a transducer?

[@brendancache]

The transducer can be siliconed to the inside of the hull . We didn’t need the transducer.

[@deplorablechump8758]

@@brendancache There’s an in-hull transducer that requires no drilling.

[@mannycolon4499]

would that bracket fit on a 2021 RXP 300

[@OwenTrebilco]

Wear did you get parts from?

[@brendancache]

The mounting bracket is from my local Seadoo dealer . The Garmin unit from my local camping / boating store

[@liam198307]

Hi mate thanks for the vid, can you post the links to where you got all the parts from? Cheers

[@brendancache]

All the parts were sourced from the local Seadoo dealer. The Garmin unit came from our local boat dealer. BCF.

[@sweetbushstudiochannel4606]

Where did you get the screws? I was able to find everything but the screws

[@brendancache]

Buy them from your Seadoo dealer.

[@wdouglasc1]

Does the cover still fit with the Garmin installation?

[@brendancache]

On the 2022 model cover , yes. Earlier model covers , No.

[@wdouglasc1]

Thanks

[@Jcreek201]

I have 2021 GTX 300 and the included cover still fits. There’s a zipper that expands the cover in that area if you have the unit installed.
