Installation Notes

Replacing this component typically involves device disassembly, handling of a flex cable/ribbon connector, and re-sealing to maintain waterproof integrity. If ordering the screen-only version, the original frame/bezel will need to be transferred from your damaged unit. Given the large display size and precision IPS touch panel, professional installation is strongly recommended.

What Is Included

• 1x OEM LCD display and touchscreen assembly (with or without frame, per selected option)
• Fully tested prior to shipping

Buying Checklist

• Confirm your unit is the standard GPSMAP 8616, not the 8616xsv or another 8000-series model.
• Decide whether you need the screen-only or screen-with-frame version, based on the condition of your original frame/bezel.
• Compare the connector and cable layout of your original damaged part before ordering.
• Confirm with the seller whether waterproof sealing is restored or needs additional sealant during installation.
