Common Concerns Answered
What is the California Proposition 65 warning?
The California Proposition 65 warning indicates that the product may contain chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer or birth defects or other reproductive harm. This is a standard disclosure requirement in California and does not necessarily mean the product is unsafe for its intended marine use when installed and operated correctly.
Are there any issues with the connector fitting securely?
While generally reliable, ensure the connector is fully seated into its port to guarantee a tight, secure connection. Proper installation prevents intermittent data flow or disconnections.
Will this connector work with non-Garmin NMEA 2000 systems?
Yes, the Garmin NMEA 2000 T Connector features standard NMEA 2000 connectors, making it compatible with NMEA 2000 certified networks from other manufacturers.
