Bail Mounting a Five-Inch Device with a Swivel Base
Only pan-head machine bolts or self-tapping screws should be
used to secure the swivel base. If you use screws with
countersunk heads, you may damage the mounting bracket.
The five-inch devices have the option of adding a swivel to the
bail mount. The swivel base allows for the routing of cables
through the mounting surface (optional).

Bail Mounting a Seven-Inch Device
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.
You can use the included bracket to bail mount the device on a
flat surface. The bail-mount bracket for the seven-inch devices
allows for the routing of cables through the mounting surface
(optional).
