If you have been shopping for electronics, trolling motors, and just about everything else you'll notice just about everything is backordered. It is a real problem. We at BOE like to think outside of the box to put pieces together that will work for you and get you back on the water as soon as possible. 

The backorder on Garmin 8600 series seems to be a never ending battle. We get updates from Garmin regularly and they are currently pushing new orders 12 weeks out.

We've put together this article to help you understand the differences between the units and how we can help.


Garmin 8612xsv  IN STOCK! ORDERS PLACED BY 2PM SHIP SAME DAY

This unit comes packed with Garmin Bluechart G3 and LakeVu G3 charts, 1920 x 1080 pixel screen resolution, 2 Garmin Network Ports, Internal GPS Antenna, 2 Micro SD slots, a Livescope sonar port, and dual channel 12-pin & 8-pin 1kW Chirp sonar ports.

Garmin 8412xsv  -OUT OF STOCK TIL 01/2022

This model has a Worldwide basemap, 1920 x 1080 pixel screen resolution, 2 Garmin Network Ports, Internal GPS Antenna, 2 Micro SD slots, a Livescope sonar port, and dual channel 12-pin & 8-pin 1kW Chirp sonar ports.

So what's the difference? This unit does not have the pre-loaded G3 charts. An easy fix to make this unit comparable to the 8612xsv is to add a G3 Vision card. https://www.boemarine.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=g3+vision

How is this different from the Garmin 8612xsv? This unit does NOT have an internal sounder module. This makes a great secondary display. Connect to a 8612xsv via ethernet and NMEA2000 to have full sonar/chart/radar capabilities.
