Where Can I Get an Original Garmin GPSMAP 400 / 500 Manual

I am after an Original Garmin Manual for a GPSMAP 551. I have downloaded a manual however they are very bulky. I have the quick reference guide however I would like to be able to take a full manual out with me which isn't so bulky.

Bernie if you have, or buy, a tablet you can take all your manuals out as PDF files.

My iPad has them all and you can search for words or phrases.... it's very handy.

The fish chart that a member here created as a pdf file is great too...

The other thing you can do is print 2 up and double sided so you get 4 pages per sheet of paper. Take out the welcome and disclaimer pages etc and it shouldnt be too big.

Bung it in one of school kids plastic portfolios and sticky tape the top of the plastic sleeve and it should be useable on a boat.

Maybe you could seal the pages with one of those vacuume sealers... Just turn of the vacuume bit.

Print as suggest above, but cut into individual double sided pages, laminate and put a plastic ring through a hole in one corner.
I've done the above with some work manuals I need to refer to but cant get wet or oilly, they've lasted years so far.
