Do not buy.
Stopped working after 2 months. Impossible to reach Garmin support by telephone (2 hour wait) and no response to emails. The field installed connector to the Nexus black box is delicate and very finicky. It was professionally installed after purchasing. My electronic person says it is either a bad box or a bad masthead transducer. The internet indicates many problems with this unit.
