Garmin GPSMAP 943xsv Chartplotter/Radar Kit, 9in Display, Navionics+ Charts, UHD SideVü/ClearVü Sonar, GMR 18 HD3 4 kW Dome

Overview

The Garmin 010-02366-53 is a GPSMAP 943xsv 9 inch touchscreen chartplotter and fishfinder bundle with a GMR 18 HD3 radome radar and built-in Garmin Navionics+ mapping. It runs on 10 to 32 Vdc, so it fits typical 12V and 24V systems without a converter.

At the helm you get a 1280 x 720 WXGA display in a housing rated IPX7, with a footprint of about 9.2 x 6.4 x 3 inches (23.3 x 16.2 x 7.6 cm). The radar side is a 4 kW dome with a 36 nm maximum range and a 20 m minimum range, which helps when you need usable targets close in while docking or picking through traffic.

This bundle is a strong match for a boat that wants charting, built-in sonar, and compact radar from one screen, whether you are running coastal, fishing structure, or making longer runs where squalls and night navigation are part of the plan.

Key features

• 9.0 inch touchscreen display (22.9 cm diagonal) with 1280 x 720 WXGA resolution.
• Chartplotter input voltage from 10 to 32 Vdc with a 6 A fast-acting fuse rating.
• IPX7 water rating on both the chartplotter and the radar for normal spray and washdown exposure.
• Built-in Ultra High-Definition SideVü and ClearVü scanning sonar plus 1 kW CHIRP traditional sonar support.
• Garmin Navionics+ mapping built in for coastal and inland charting.
• Networking and I/O for system builds: NMEA 2000, NMEA 0183 in and out, J1939, and a Garmin Marine Network port.
• GMR 18 HD3 radar specs that matter on the water: 4 kW peak output, 36 nm max range, 20 m minimum range, and 8-bit true color target presentation.
• Radar power input from 11 to 32 Vdc with a 7.5 A fuse rating, plus timed transmit options to manage power draw.

Compatibility and system integration

The GPSMAP 943xsv is built for a mixed helm network. It supports NMEA 2000 for sensors and backbone data, NMEA 0183 for legacy gear, and J1939 for compatible engine gateways. The Garmin Marine Network port is the path for radar sharing, sonar sharing, and video sources within a compatible Garmin system.

For storage and updates, the unit has two microSD card slots (32 GB max card size). Wireless connectivity operates on 2.4 GHz, which is useful for app-based updates and onboard connectivity features when you have coverage or a marina Wi-Fi link.

Sonar and fishfinding on board

As an xsv model, the unit supports built-in scanning sonar and traditional CHIRP capability. That matters when you want to read bottom structure and bait clearly at speed, then slow down and pick apart hard edges, ledges, and wrecks with SideVü and ClearVü views. A compatible transducer is still required for on-the-water sonar performance, and Panoptix and LiveScope systems are supported when paired with the appropriate hardware.

Radar installation and use at the helm

The GMR 18 HD3 radome is rated IPX7 and has a thermoplastic resin case that holds up well in typical saltwater environments when it is mounted correctly and the fasteners are sealed. It draws about 15 W in standby and about 40 W when transmitting, and it is meant to be mounted with attention to safe separation from people while transmitting and with an appropriate compass-safe distance (1.2 m).

The radar uses Garmin BlueNet networking technology and can be used in Garmin Marine Network systems with the proper adapter cable. All radar functions are controlled from the chartplotter, so you handle transmit, gain, sea clutter, overlays, and target views directly on the GPSMAP screen.

Installation and setup

The chartplotter can be bail mounted, flush mounted, or mounted flat depending on your dash layout. For planning the cutout and cable routing, allow space behind the unit for connections and service access, and keep it far enough from a magnetic compass to avoid interference.

Use the correct fuse protection at the power source, secure cables away from heat and moving parts, and seal any deck or hardtop penetrations for the radar cabling. On boats that see vibration or pounding, solid backing and good strain relief at the connectors make a noticeable difference long term.

Many products sold by Apollo Lighting include a manufacturer's warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship. Warranty terms vary by brand, product category, and model, so eligibility, coverage duration, exclusions, and available remedies are determined by the applicable manufacturer. We recommend reviewing the warranty information provided with your product before installation or use, especially for marine electronics, navigation equipment, lighting, electrical systems, pumps, safety equipment, and other specialized marine products.

If you need warranty service, the claim must follow the process established by the manufacturer, authorized service center, or designated warranty provider. You may be asked for proof of purchase, a serial number, product registration, photos, maintenance or installation records, or other documentation. Apollo Lighting does not determine or modify a manufacturer's warranty coverage or final claim decision, but we are happy to help provide purchase information and direct you to the appropriate manufacturer or warranty resource.

Keep your receipt, product documentation, serial number information, and original packaging when practical. Damage caused by normal wear, misuse, improper installation, insufficient maintenance, corrosion, impact, unauthorized modifications, electrical issues, or operation outside the manufacturer's specifications may not be covered. Warranty claims are separate from standard returns, so a product that has been installed, used, or exposed to marine conditions may no longer qualify for return while still remaining eligible for evaluation under the manufacturer's applicable warranty.
