00:00Garmin 4-Pin Power Cable vs Threaded Data Cable, Which Works, Voice Over Script
00:05If you've ever stared at the back of your Garmin Fishfinder wondering why one cable almost fits
00:10but not quite, you're not alone. There are two different 4-pin connectors out there,
00:15the flat push-in one and the threaded screw-on one, and they are not interchangeable.
00:19I went through the listings and pulled the best deals on both, and the prices might surprise you,
00:24so stick around. Let's start with the one most Echo owners actually need,
00:28the 010-11678-10 Power Cable, and it's $24.54 with over 4,400 sold and a perfect 5-star
00:37rating.
00:38It covers basically the whole Echo lineup, the 100, 101, 150, 151, 151dV, 200, 201, 201dV, 300C and 301.
00:50Straight plug and play, no adapters, no guessing. If your unit has that flat 4-pin push-in port,
00:56this is the one, and at that price with that many buyers behind it, there's really no reason to
01:01overthink it. Then there's the same cable from a different seller for $26.44, and honestly the
01:08interesting part is the spec sheet, this one spells out the length at 6 feet, or 1.8 meters.
01:13That matters if your battery box sits further away than you think it does.
01:18You're getting the same fit for the 100, 101, 150, 151, 151dV, 200, 201, 201dV, 300C and 301,
01:28and it's holding a 5-star rating across roughly 4,400 sales. Slightly more money, but you know
01:35exactly how much cable you're getting before it shows up. Now here's where people go wrong,
01:40the threaded cable. This is the 010-12445-00 marine power and data cable, threaded 4-pin,
01:48and it's the cheapest of the bunch at $19.93 with 4,000 sold and 5 stars. But listen carefully,
01:55this one fits transducers and units on Echomap Chirp, plus in UHD, GTSMap, and Panoptix.
02:01If your port has threads, this is the correct cable. If it doesn't, it will not work,
02:07no amount of pushing makes threads appear. Check your port before you buy,
02:11because this is the cable that causes the most returns.
02:15Next up, the 010-11678-10 again, this time for $24.40 with nearly 3,900 sold and a 4
02:23.9 rating,
02:24so basically the same cable, slightly cheaper, and it's listed against a broader range of models
02:29including the Echomap 100, 150, 200, 300, 500 and 550 series.
02:356-foot run, flat 4-pin
02:38The 4.9 instead of a 5 is worth mentioning, but with that sales volume it's a rounding error,
02:44not a pattern. Good middle option if your model number sits in that wider list.
02:49So the short answer, flat push in 4-pin for Echom100 through 300 in the 500 and 550 series,
02:56threaded 4-pin only if your unit is Echomap Chirp, plus, UHD, GTSMap or Panoptix.
03:02Links to all 5 are in the description below, and the prices do move, so grab them while they're
03:07sitting this low. If this saved you a return, hit like, subscribe, and I'll keep digging through
03:12the listings for you.
