Yes, the Garmin GNX 130 is fully compatible with NMEA 2000 networks. It connects to power and data sources via your boat’s NMEA 2000 network, allowing display of data from various NMEA 2000 sensors.

The Garmin GNX 130 cannot directly receive NMEA 0183 data. However, it can display NMEA 0183 data from sources connected to a GNX 20 or GNX 21 device (sold separately) on the same NMEA 2000 network.

To install the Garmin GNX 130, you will need the following tools:

A drill and drill bitsA 44 mm (1 3/4 in) hole sawA 4.5 mm (3/16 in) drill bitMarine sealant (recommended)

Yes, the Garmin GNX 130 is waterproof. It has an IEC 60529 IPX7 waterproof rating, meaning it can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes.

Yes, the Garmin GNX 130 can receive data from Nexus instruments and sensors. To do so, it must be connected to a GND™ 10 device (sold separately) on the same NMEA 2000 network.

The Garmin GNX 130 display has the following dimensions:

Dimensions (W x H x D): 249 x 153 x 19 mm (9.8 x 6.02 x 0.75 in)

For installing the Garmin GNX 130, you will need the following tools:

A drill and drill bits: A 44 mm (1 3/4 in) hole saw A 4.5 mm (3/16 in) drill bit Marine sealant (recommended)

The Garmin GNX 130 connects to power and data sources via an NMEA 2000 network. It is designed to integrate with your existing NMEA 2000 network or to create a basic network if required.

Although the GNX 130 cannot receive NMEA 0183 data directly, it can display this data if it comes from sources connected to a GNX 20 or GNX 21 device (sold separately) on the same NMEA 2000 network.

Yes, the GNX 130 can receive data from Nexus instruments and sensors using a GND™ 10 device (sold separately).

The safe distance from a magnetic compass for the Garmin GNX 130 is 0 mm (0 in). This means it can be installed near a compass without causing interference.

Yes, the GNX 130 offers several preconfigured display profiles, as well as a customizable profile:

POWERBOAT: Displays instruments useful for powerboat navigation.
SAIL CRUISE: Displays instruments for cruising sailboats.
SAIL RACE: Displays instruments specific to sailboat racing.
CUSTOM: Allows you to customize the display to your specific needs.

You can configure the data fields by selecting the menu > CONFIGURE DATA FIELDS. From there, you can choose a data field and adjust its configuration. It is also possible to filter the data to control the instrument's responsiveness to changes, or adjust the data update rate.

Yes, the Garmin GNX 130 has a race timer that can be added as a data field to an instrument page. This timer is synchronized with other compatible Garmin GNX instruments and chartplotters on the same NMEA 2000 network, which is ideal for regatta starts.

When selecting a mounting location for the GNX 130, consider the following:

The mounting location must be at or below eye level for optimal visibility.The mounting surface must be strong enough to support the device’s weight and protect it from excessive vibration or shock.The mounting surface must be flat to prevent damage to the device.There must be space behind the mounting surface to route and connect cables.The device must not be exposed to extreme temperatures or conditions, as the operating temperature range is -15 to 70°C (5 to 158°F).

To ensure the mounting template is printed with the correct dimensions, follow these instructions:

Check the dimensions indicated on the template and select a paper format larger than the template’s dimensions. In Adobe Acrobat’s print dialog box, set the Page Scaling option to None. Select Auto Rotate and Center to ensure correct orientation. After printing, measure the template to confirm the dimensions match the actual device size before cutting the mounting surface.
