Hi,
I’m trying to activate the active captain Garmin app and I get a message that I need to add an SD card to the back of the Garmin. It’s not clear how to access the back of the Garmins. Do I remove the panel in the head to get at it?
Thanks !

Nice. Good lookin’ boat. Some rocket surgeon at Garmin moved the SD reader from the front to the back? Ugh. Not intimately familiar with the A29, but you should have access to everything on your dash from directly under the helm. I have to lay on my back with my head on the foot rest to see all the connections.

Just in case someone is searching on this in the future, I confirmed that you remove the panel in the head (6 Phillips head screws hidden under caps) and that gives you full access to the back of the dash panel and including easy access to the Garmin SD micro card slots. Ahoy!
