Adding Underwater Lights to 2024 Cobalt R6
I am looking into adding underwater lights to my Cobalt R6. I have the underwater light switch at the dash and the wiring behind the motor. How do I integrate them into my Garmin 8610 to change color and dimming?

So glad you found us OHR. Would you by chance be boating on that river?
We added the external lighting but not with the Garmin integration. Hopefully someone here will chime in with that mod.
Any pics?
And welcome aboard mate.

Bump --- Id like to know the answer to this also. What did you find out? I can do a set to the switch but the full integration would be nice.

I don't have an 8610, but I'm curious how it would be able to change color and dimming of ambient lights. Is there a screen control that suggests it can do that?
I think it can control certain marine stereos (e.g. Fusion) over a NEMA2000 network, but it looks like you might need a completely separate RGB controller to control lights in Garmin's ecosystem - see https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/726218

Shadow caster should be able to integrate with the garmin on the NMEA 2000 backbone. It should also be able to use the factory button to turn on and off as well as the mfd
