Garmin GPSMAP 5215 Installation Instructions Manual
Flush Mounting a GPSMAP 4010/4210 Chartplotter or a GPSMAP 5015/5215 Chartplotter:
Hardware (included):
• Flush-mount template
• Rubber gasket
• Mounting screws (4.2 × 1.4 DIN7981 / number 8 ANSI)
To flush mount a GPSMAP 4010/4012 chartplotter or a GPSMAP 5015/5215 chartplotter:
1. The flush-mount template is included in the product box. Trim the template and ensure it will fit in the location where you want to flush mount
the chartplotter.
NotE: Make sure the surface on which you mount the chartplotter has at least 7 in. (18 cm) of open space behind it to fit the chartplotter and the
connected wires, and make sure to leave approximately

interference.
2. The flush-mount template has adhesive on the back. Remove the protective liner and apply the template to the location at which you want to
mount the chartplotter.
3. Using a

in. (10 mm) drill bit, drill a pilot hole inside the corner of the template to begin

cutting the mounting surface.
4. Using the jigsaw, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the solid line indicated on
the flush-mount template. Use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the hole.
5. If the top and bottom mounting covers are attached to the front of the chartplotter,
remove them by unsnapping the covers from the sides.
6. Place the chartplotter in the hole, and make sure that the mounting holes on the
chartplotter line up with the pilot holes on the flush-mount template after cutting,
sanding, and filing the hole. If they do not, mark the locations where the pilot holes need
to be.
7. Using the center punch, indent the center of each of the mounting-hole locations.
8. Using a drill bit as specified by the Pilot Hole Size Table, drill the mounting holes.

Fiberglass—all thicknesses
High Density Plastic—all thicknesses
Plywood (resin impregnated)—Professional installation recommended
NotE: If you are mounting the chartplotter in fiberglass, 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
9. Install the rubber gasket on the back of the chartplotter. The top and bottom sections will line up with the holes. The side sections will line up
with the notches in the case for the sun cover.
10. P lace the chartplotter into the cutout.
11. S ecurely tighten the included mounting screws through the chartplotter into the pilot holes.
NotE: Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass and overtightened. Garmin recommends applying an anti-galling, stainless anti-
seize lubricant to the screw before using.
12. R eplace the mounting covers by snapping them into place.
