but meeting your marine navigation needs
in a comprehensive, logical manner.
Optional Northstar radar and fish finding
modules round out the 6000i ’s capabilities.

time to simply enjoying your trip.
For information on installing, interfacing,
and troubleshooting the 6000i , please see
the Northstar 6000i Installation Manual
(part number GM6KIM) or contact your
local authorized Northstar dealer.

functions — you’ll find answers here to
any questions about getting the most
