Important Safety Information

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 will void the product warranty.

Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask

when drilling, cutting, or sanding.

When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite

side of the surface.

consequences are not covered by the warranty.

the dashboard. If you want to mount the device using an

alternative method where it appears flat with the front of the

dashboard, you must purchase a flat-mount kit (sold separately,

with professional installation recommended) from your Garmin

dealer.

When selecting a mounting location, observe these

considerations.

NOTE: Not all mounting methods are available for all device

models. See the specific mounting-type section for more details

about your model.

• The location should provide optimal viewing as you operate

your boat.

• The location should allow for easy access to all device

interfaces, such as the keypad, touchscreen, and card

reader, if applicable.

• The location must be strong enough to support the weight of

the device and protect it from excessive vibration or shock.

• 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.

• The location must allow room for the routing and connection

of all cables.

Bail Mounting a Five-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-

galling, stainless 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 five-inch models have the option of installing a

swivel at the base of the bail-mount bracket
