Garmin LED Flying Lead w/Water-Resistant 6-Way Plug

Enhance Your Boat's Lighting Setup Seamlessly

Imagine cruising at dusk with your vessel's deck lights casting a perfect glow, all controlled effortlessly from your Garmin helm. This LED flying lead with its rugged water-resistant 6-way plug makes that vision a reality. Designed specifically for marine environments, it bridges your Garmin Spectra LED lighting control module to individual lights, handling up to 2 amps per output without a hitch. Boat owners swear by its reliability during long nights on the water, where moisture and salt are constant threats.

What sets this connector apart isn't just the plug—it's the thoughtful engineering that ensures a secure, watertight connection every time. No more fumbling with exposed wires or worrying about shorts from spray. It's the unsung hero in a sophisticated lighting array, letting you focus on the horizon instead of electrical gremlins.

Built for the Harsh Marine World

• Water-Resistant Design: IP67-rated sealing keeps corrosion and water ingress at bay, ideal for bow, stern, or underwater lights.
• Flying Lead Flexibility: The extended lead offers ample length for clean routing through tight bilge spaces or along gunwales.

Pro tip: Pair it with Spectra modules for dimming and color-changing effects that sync with your Garmin chartplotter—transforming basic illumination into a customizable ambiance.

• Low-Power Handling: Safely supports LEDs drawing 2 amps or less, preventing overloads in multi-light setups.
• Plug-and-Play Simplicity: Matches Garmin's ecosystem perfectly, reducing install time by hours compared to custom wiring.

Installation Made Easy for DIY Boaters

Getting this flying lead up and running is straightforward, even if you're not a full-time marine electrician. Start by powering down your system and locating the output on your Spectra control module. Strip the lead ends carefully, crimp on the provided terminals, and snap into the 6-way plug. Route the cable away from high-traffic areas, secure with zip ties, and test with a low-output light first.

Common pitfall to avoid: Over-tightening the plug seal, which can crack the housing. A quarter-turn past snug is plenty. Once connected, integrate it into the Garmin app for zone control—now your nav lights, courtesy lights, and accent strips respond to a single touch.

Why It Outshines Generic Alternatives

In the world of boat wiring, cheap adapters fail fast under UV exposure and saltwater spray. This Garmin-specific lead uses marine-grade insulation and tinned conductors that resist galvanic corrosion, extending your lighting system's life. It's optimized for the Spectra lineup, ensuring full compatibility with NMEA 2000 networks for smart diagnostics—spot voltage drops or faults right on your multifunction display.

For larger vessels, daisy-chain multiples for comprehensive coverage, from salon mood lighting to docking aids. Anglers love it for subtle green glows that don't spook fish, while cruisers appreciate the safety of reliable visibility.

Long-Term Performance Tips

Keep it performing like new with simple habits: Rinse with fresh water after saltwater exposure, inspect seals seasonally, and avoid sharp bends in the lead. If integrating with solar-powered LEDs, monitor total draw to stay under 2 amps. Over time, this connector proves its value by minimizing downtime—no more dark decks mid-voyage.
