INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings, cautions, and notices could
result in personal injury, damage to the vessel or device, or poor
product performance.
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 voids the product warranty.
CAUTION
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles,
ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or
sanding.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device and
vessel, disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning
to install the device.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device or
vessel, before applying power to the device, make sure that it
has been properly grounded, following the instructions in the
guide.
NOTICE
For the best possible performance, the device must be installed
according to these instructions.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation,
contact Garmin® Product Support.

Fixed-Bail Mounting the Device
Mounting Considerations
You can mount the device using one of three methods.
Bail mount: You can mount the device using the bail mount,
which allows you to tilt the device.
Swivel mount: You can mount the device using the swivel base
and bail mount, which allows you to swivel and tilt the device.
Not available on the ECHOMAP UHD 9x models.
Flush mount: You can mount the device in the dashboard,
which provides a more integrated installation.
Before permanently installing any part of your device, you
should plan the installation by determining the location of the
various components.
• The mounting location must provide a clear view of the
screen and access to the keys on the device.
• The mounting location must be sturdy enough to support the
device and the mount.
• The cables must be long enough to connect the components
to each other and to power.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, do not install
the device closer to a compass than the compass-safe
distance value listed in the product specifications.
Bail Mounting a Device with a Swivel Base
NOTICE
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.
NOTICE
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 cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are
tightened.
Select the mounting hardware appropriate for your mounting
1
surface and for the bail-mount bracket.
Using the bail-mount bracket as a template, mark the pilot
2
holes through the screw holes.
Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting hardware, drill
3
the four pilot holes.
Using the selected mounting hardware, secure the bail-mount
4
bracket to the mounting surface.
Install the bail-mount knobs on the sides of the cradle.
5
Some models have the option of adding a swivel base to the bail
mount, so you can turn the device for a wider range of viewing
angles.
NOTE: The ECHOMAP UHD 9x models do not have a swivel
option.
Using the swivel base as a template, mark three pilot
1
holes .
Using a 3 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit, drill the three pilot holes.
2
Using the included wood screws , secure the swivel base
3
to the mounting surface.
Place the bail-mount bracket on the swivel base, and
4
secure it using the swivel-mount knob .
Install the bail-mount knobs on the sides of the cradle.
5
Place the device in the bail-mount bracket and tighten the
6
bail-mount knobs.
Connect each cable to a port on the cradle, using the locking
7
bracket or locking rings to secure the cables to the cradle
(Connection Considerations, page 3).
Place the cradle into the bail-mount bracket , and tighten
6
the bail-mount knobs.
Connect each cable to a port on the cradle, using the locking
7
bracket or locking rings to secure the cables to the cradle
(Connection Considerations, page 3).
Flush Mounting the Device
NOTICE
Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the device.
There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and
the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could
compromise the stability of the device after it is mounted.
Using a metal pry tool such as a screwdriver can damage the
trim caps and the device. Use a plastic pry tool when possible.
You can mount the device in your dashboard using the flushmount template and appropriate hardware.
Trim the template and make sure it fits in the location where
1
you want to mount the device.
Secure the template to the mounting location.
2
Using a 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes
3
inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare
the mounting surface for cutting.
Using a jigsaw or rotary cutting tool, cut the mounting surface
4
along the inside of the solid line indicated on the template.
Place the device into the cutout to test the fit.
5
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
6
the hole.
If your device has trim caps, use a pry tool, such as a flat
7
piece of plastic or a screwdriver, to carefully pry up the
