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
