Garmin Multifunction Display
Garmin Multifunction Displays (GPS & Chartplotters)
Garmin Multifunction displays (MFDs) are the backbone of a modern marine electronics setup, combining GPS navigation, chartplotting, sonar, radar and vessel data into one powerful screen. At Shotgun Marine, we don’t just sell Garmin gear - we supply, install and configure it properly for real Australian boating conditions.
As authorised Garmin installers based in Port Macquarie, we work with everyone from serious offshore fishermen to cruisers and family boat owners across the Mid North Coast NSW. Whether you’re crossing bars, running wide for game fishing, or cruising the coastline, a Garmin MFD set up correctly makes a massive difference to safety, accuracy and confidence on the water.
Garmin MFD supply & installation
We supply and install the Garmin multifunction display range, including touchscreen and keypad models, combo GPS-sounder units, and large-screen helm systems. Our installs focus on clean wiring, correct power supply, proper network setup and real-world configuration - not just bolting a screen on the dash.
Integration that actually works offshore
Garmin MFDs integrate with sonar modules, LiveScope, radar, autopilots, AIS, engine data and NMEA 2000 networks. We make sure everything talks to everything else properly, with clear screens, reliable GPS accuracy and layouts that make sense when you’re offshore or in sloppy conditions.
- GPS & chartplotter setup for inshore and offshore use
- Sonar & transducer matching (including upgrades)
- Radar integration and tuning
- NMEA 2000 networking and fault-finding
- Autopilot & AIS integration into the helm system
If you’re upgrading an older unit, building a new electronics package, or you’re just not getting the performance you should from your current Garmin setup, we’ll help you choose the right gear and install it the right way — without pushing stuff you don’t need.
Want it done properly? Give Shotgun Marine a bell and we’ll point you in the right direction for your boat, your fishing style and your local waters.
Garmin Multifunction Display FAQs
Do you install Garmin multifunction displays in Port Macquarie?
Yes - Shotgun Marine supplies and installs Garmin MFDs in Port Macquarie and across the Mid North Coast NSW, including setup, networking and on-water style configuration.
Can Garmin MFDs integrate with LiveScope, radar and autopilots?
Yep. Depending on your model, we can integrate LiveScope/sonar modules, Garmin radar, AIS and autopilot through Garmin Marine Network and NMEA 2000.
Can you reuse my existing transducer when upgrading?
Often we can, but it depends on the transducer type and what sounder/module you’re moving to. We’ll check compatibility and recommend the best option.
Do you set up NMEA 2000 and networking?
Sure do - backbone planning, power, terminations, network checks and clean commissioning so everything talks properly.
