Hub connectat OnDeck™

The Garmin OnDeck™ Hub (part number 010-02134-00) is a remote management system designed for boat owners. It allows you to monitor, track, and control various systems on your vessel from anywhere using the ActiveCaptain® mobile app.

This integrated solution provides 3G/4G cellular connectivity for regular updates, ensuring greater peace of mind by enabling remote management of your vessel.

The OnDeck™ Hub uses 3G/4G cellular coverage to establish a permanent connection and provide regular updates for your boat’s data. You interact with the system via the ActiveCaptain® mobile app, available on your smartphone or tablet.

The OnDeck™ Hub monitors essential boat data, such as:

Battery statusBilge pump activityShore power connectionTemperature variationsIt can also support up to 30 safety sensors for extended monitoring.

Yes, the Hub OnDeck™ integrates a GPS receiver that allows position tracking every 15 or 30 minutes, depending on the power state. It can also detect movement and send SMS alerts if your boat leaves a geofenced area you have defined.

All data collected by the OnDeck™ Hub is securely stored in the cloud for 30 days, providing you with a searchable history of your boat's information.

Yes, the Hub OnDeck™ allows remote control of certain systems on your boat via the ActiveCaptain® app. This includes configuring and activating/deactivating digital switches to manage onboard equipment.

The black housing (GTB 10) must be installed in a location that meets the following conditions:

Not exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions.Not submerged.With adequate ventilation.At least 102 mm (4 in) away from cables and other potential sources of interference.With sufficient space for routing and connecting all cables.Connectors must face upward on a horizontal surface or outward on a vertical surface. Do not install with connectors facing downward or toward the mounting surface, as the internal GPS antenna will not function properly in this orientation.

After mounting the device, you must orient both antennas toward the sky for optimal reception. If the device is installed on a vertical surface (such as a bulkhead), the antennas must be installed parallel to the black housing. If the device is installed on a horizontal surface, the antennas must be installed perpendicular to the black housing.

To ensure a watertight connection, tighten the antenna nut to 0.56 N·m (5 lbf·in), which is a hand-tight plus an additional 45-degree turn.

For optimal internal GPS reception, the device must be mounted in a location above the waterline when the boat is in the water and, if possible, have an unobstructed view of the sky.

If you mount the device on a boat with a metal hull, or if the internal GPS antenna is blocked or misaligned, you will need to connect an external GPS antenna (sold separately).

The power cable must be connected directly to the battery: the red wire to the positive terminal (+) and the black wire to the negative terminal (-). It is imperative not to remove the integrated fuse holder (7.5 A, 42 V fast-acting).

For proper monitoring of your boat when the ignition is off, the power cable must not be connected to the device via the ignition switch.

During connection, you must observe the following points:

Check that the power and ground connections to the battery are secure and cannot come loose.Make sure the locking rings are tightened so the power or data connection remains secure.Bare wire connections must be watertight if exposed to moisture (use heat-shrink crimp connectors or other watertight connections).To prevent corrosion of metal contacts, unused connectors must be covered with protective caps.For a better GPS antenna connection, completely remove the protective cap from the GPS connector.

Yes, the power cable can be extended if necessary, using the appropriate wire gauge for the extension length:

Up to 4.6 m (15 ft): 10 AWG (5.26 mm²) extension wire
Up to 7 m (23 ft): 8 AWG (8.36 mm²) extension wire
Up to 11 m (36 ft): 6 AWG (13.29 mm²) extension wire
A 7.5 A, 42 V fast-acting fuse must remain in place.

Yes, for the initial setup, you must connect your mobile device running the ActiveCaptain® app to the OnDeck system's Wi-Fi network. If the GTB 10 hub is not connected to a Garmin-compatible chartplotter via the Garmin marine network, these steps must be performed within 30 minutes of powering on the device, as it automatically shuts down after 30 minutes of inactivity.

Yes, the Hub OnDeck™ is designed for native integration with the Garmin ecosystem. It can connect to a compatible Garmin chartplotter via the Garmin Marine network and to an NMEA 2000 network, enabling monitoring of NMEA 2000-compatible sensors.

The OnDeck™ Hub supports connecting various sensors via its IN/OUT inputs, including:

Temperature sensorsSafety sensorsCurrent sensors for shore power (Bilge 1 and Bilge 2)Inputs for bilge pump status (Bilge 1 and Bilge 2)Inputs for battery status (Battery 1 and Battery 2)Input for boat usage (Boat-in-Use)It can also monitor sensors connected via the NMEA 2000 network.

Yes, the inputs for boat usage (Boat-in-Use), bilge pumps (Bilge 1/2), and batteries (Battery 1/2) require a DC voltage between 10 and 32 Vdc.

Yes, using OnDeck services requires subscribing to a service plan with Garmin. Each OnDeck product requires its own service plan to function and access all remote monitoring and control features.

The standard limited warranty from Garmin applies to this accessory. For detailed information and the full warranty terms, you can consult Garmin’s official support and warranty page.

Yes, failure to follow installation instructions may void the product warranty. For example, connecting the power cable without the appropriate fuse in place voids the product warranty.

No, damage caused by extreme temperatures and its consequences are not covered by the warranty. The device must be installed in a location not exposed to extreme temperatures and used within the specified temperature range to prevent damage.
