Roger,

I haven't played with OSM on my garmin for a while (there's no water
in my area to worry about), but if you end up needing to totally
customize the style, the Wiki has pages on that:

http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin#Creating_Your_Own_Maps_from_OSM_Data

Have you looked at those?
