40/50 Series Installation

Instructions

To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your boat, install the device according to these instructions.

Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin ® Product Support.

Important Safety Information

WARNING

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information.

When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate fuse in place voids the product warranty.

CAUTION

Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.

NOTICE

When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface.

To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your boat, install the device according to these instructions.

Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin Product Support.

Mounting Considerations

The device can be mounted using the included bracket, or it can be mounted flush with the dashboard using a flush-mount kit

(may be sold separately).

Before permanently installing any part of your device, you should plan the installation by determining the location of the various components.

• The mounting location must provide a clear view of the screen and access to the keys on the device.

• The mounting location must be sturdy enough to support the device and the mount.

• The cables must be long enough to connect the components to each other and to power.

• The cables can be routed under the bail mount or behind the device.

• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device should not be installed closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications.

Flush Mounting the Device

NOTICE

Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the device.

There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could compromise the stability of the device after it is mounted.

Using a metal pry tool such as a screwdriver can damage the trim caps and the device. Use a plastic pry tool when possible.

A flush-mount template and hardware can be used to mount the device in your dashboard.

1 Trim the template and make sure it fits in the location where you want to mount the device.

2 Secure the template to the selected mounting location.

3 Using a 9.5 mm ( 3 /

8

in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.

4 Using a jigsaw or rotary cutting tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the solid line indicated on the template.

5 Place the device into the cutout to test the fit.

6 If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the hole.

7 NOTE: Not all devices have trim caps.

Using a pry tool such as a flat piece of plastic or a screwdriver, carefully pry up the corners of the trim caps and slide the pry tool to the center

À

to remove the trim caps.

Á

8 Ensure the mounting holes on the device line up with the pilot holes on the template.

9 If the mounting holes on the device do not line up, mark the new pilot-hole locations.

10 Using a 3.2 mm ( 1 /

8

in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.

11 Remove the template from the mounting surface.

12 If you will not have access to the back of the device after you mount it, connect all necessary cables to the device before placing it into the cutout.

NOTE: To prevent corrosion of the metal contacts, cover unused connectors with weather caps.

13 Install the rubber gasket pieces on the back of the device.

The pieces of the rubber gasket have adhesive on the back.

Make sure you remove the protective liner before installing them on the device.

14 Place the device into the cradle.

15 Securely connect each cable to a port on the cradle.

16 Place the locking bracket over the cables.

17 Place the device into the cutout.

18 Secure the device to the mounting surface using the included screws.

19 Install the trim caps by snapping them in place around the edges of the device.

Installing the Swivel Base

Preparing to Run Cables under the Mounting Surface

NOTICE

Use pan-head screws or bolts when securing the swivel-mount base. Screws or bolts with countersunk heads damage the base.

Before you can prepare the swivel-mount base, you must choose the location to install the mount and decide whether to attach the mount using screws or bolts.
