Mounting the GPSMAP 6000/7000 Series Chartplotter
You can mount the GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotters using one of two methods. You can use the included bracket to bail mount the
chartplotter, or you can use the included template and hardware to flush mount the chartplotter.
Mount the GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter in a location that provides a clear, glare-free view of the display and easy operation of the
controls or touch screen.
Note: You cannot bail mount the GPSMAP 7015/7215 chartplotters. Because of the larger size of these devices, you must flush mount a
GPSMAP 7015 or a GPSMAP 7215 chartplotter.
Bail Mounting the GPSMAP 6000/7000 Series Chartplotter
Use the included bracket to bail mount a GPSMAP 6008, 6208, 6012, 6212, 7012, or a GPSMAP 7212 chartplotter.

• Drill and drill bits
• Pencil
• Mounting hardware (screws or nuts, washers, and bolts)
Note: The bail-mounting hardware (screws or nuts, washers, and bolts) is not included. The holes on the bail mount are
diameter. Choose mounting hardware that fits the holes in the bail mount and securely attaches it to your specific mounting surface. The size of
the drill bit required depends on the mounting hardware you use.
