Overview

The Garmin 010-11615-00 is a transducer adapter with a female 4-pin connector on one end and a male 6-pin connector on the other for echo series fishfinder installations.

It is used when your fishfinder connection is 4-pin but your existing transducer setup is 6-pin. The adapter sits inline between the display and the transducer cable so you can keep a working transducer in place and avoid cutting plugs or re-running cable through tight rigging tubes.

Key features

• Female 4-pin to male 6-pin adapter format for matching the two connector styles
• Supports reusing an existing 6-pin transducer when moving to an echo series unit with a 4-pin transducer connection
• Inline connection avoids splicing when your equipment already uses the matching 4-pin and 6-pin plugs
• Helps simplify upgrades where the transducer cable is difficult to replace due to routing, conduit, or sealed passes

Compatibility and fit

Verify the pin count and connector shape on both sides before ordering. This adapter is meant for installations where the display side is 4-pin and the transducer side is 6-pin, matching the connector genders shown in the product title.

If either side of your system uses a different pin count or connector style, this adapter will not resolve that mismatch. A quick check at the helm and at the transducer cable end usually prevents an incorrect fit.

Installation and setup

Turn the fishfinder off before connecting the transducer. Align the connectors carefully, seat them fully, and route the adapter where it will not hang unsupported from the cable. On boats that see vibration from outboards or pounding in chop, supporting the connection helps keep strain off the plug ends.

After installation, confirm you are getting stable depth and bottom return at the dock before relying on the system underway.

Use cases on board

This adapter is a practical choice when you are replacing an older display but want to keep an existing 6-pin transducer installed on the transom, through-hull, or in-hull location. It also helps when cable runs are already sealed and pulling a new transducer cable would mean redoing rigging.
