Bail Mounting the Device

NOTICE

If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid any cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened.

Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass and overtightened. Garmin recommends applying an anti-seize lubricant to the screws before installing them.

1 Select the mounting hardware appropriate for your mounting surface and for the bail-mount bracket.

2 Using the bail-mount bracket as a template, mark the pilot holes through the screw holes.

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 If your device has trim caps, use a pry tool, such as a flat piece of plastic or a screwdriver, to carefully pry up the corners of the trim caps , slide the pry tool to the center

À

and remove the trim caps.

Á

,

3 Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting hardware, drill the four pilot holes.

4 Using the selected mounting hardware, secure the bail-mount bracket to the mounting surface.

5 Install the bail-mount knobs

À

on the sides of the device.

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 with the pilot holes on the template, mark the new pilot-hole locations on your template.

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.

6 Place the device into the cradle

Á

.

7 Place the cradle in the bail-mount bracket and tighten the bail-mount knobs.

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.

You can mount the device in your dashboard using the flushmount template and appropriate hardware.

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 mounting location.

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

15 Place the device into the cutout.

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

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

Installing the Cables and Connectors

Wiring to Power

1 Route the power cable from the swivel mount to the boat battery or fuse block.

2

2 If necessary, extend the wires using 0.82 mm 2 (18 AWG) or larger wire.

3 Connect the red wire to the positive terminal on the battery or fuse block, and connect the black wire to the negative terminal.

Connecting the Device to a Transducer

Go to www.garmin.com

or contact your local Garmin dealer to determine the appropriate type of transducer for your needs.

1 Follow the instructions provided with your transducer to correctly install it on your boat.

2 Route the transducer cable to the back of your device, away from sources of electrical interference.

3 Connect the transducer cable to the appropriate port on your device.

Connecting the Cables to the Cradle

The connectors on the cables are keyed to fit only in the correct ports on the device or cradle.

1 Compare the divots port.

NMEA 2000

®

Considerations

NOTICE

If you have an existing NMEA 2000 network on your boat, it should already be connected to power. Do not connect the

NMEA 2000 power cable to an existing NMEA 2000 network, because only one power source should be connected to a

NMEA 2000 network.

If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must connect it to the boat ignition switch or through another in-line switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA

2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.

NMEA 2000 compatible models can connect to a NMEA 2000 network on your boat to share data from NMEA 2000 compatible devices such as sensors or a VHF radio. The necessary NMEA

2000 cables and connectors are sold separately.

If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the

“NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals” chapter of the Technical

Reference for NMEA 2000 Products. To download this document, go to www.garmin.com

and select Manuals on the product page for your device.

The port labeled NMEA 2000 on the back of the device is used to connect it to a standard NMEA 2000 network.

NOTE: Models that are not directly NMEA 2000 compatible require the included 4-pin adapter cable to connect to the NMEA

2000 network.

2 Securely connect each cable to a port.

Installing the Device in the Cradle

If your device uses a cradle and you have connected the cables to the cradle, you can quickly place the device in the cradle without plugging in any cables.

1 Place the base of the device in the bottom of the cradle.

2 Tilt the device toward the cradle until it fastens in place.

There is an audible click when the device is secured in the cradle.
