Garmin GPSMAP 172C Mount Template

Printing a Mounting Template

NOTICE

These instructions for printing a mounting template must be followed precisely. Failure to do so may result in incorrect dimensions on the template and an incorrect cutout (too large or too small) on the mounting surface of your boat.

To print the attached mounting template, check the dimensions of the template and select the appropriate size of paper. Both the length and width measurements are indicated on the template.

The paper size must be larger than the dimensions of the template. Select the paper size using the Properties button in the Adobe Acrobat print dialog box.

Select Auto-Rotate and Center to ensure the template prints in the correct orientation.

IMPORTANT: When printing the ush mount template, set Page Scaling in the Adobe Acrobat print dialog box to None.

After printing and before cutting the mounting surface, measure the printed template to ensure both the length and the width printed at the correct size and to ensure that the dimensions of the printed template match the actual size of your mount. Garmin is not responsible for any damages or expenses resulting from a miscut mounting surface arising from a failure to follow these instructions.

UNIT OUTLINE

CUT MOUNTING SURFACE ALONG THE INSIDE OF THIS LINE

Be very careful when cutting this hole, there is only a small amount of clearance between the unit and the Mounting Hole.

Drill four 3mm (1/8") mounting holes at the indicated locations. Install the four Mounting Studs into unit by screwing the shorter section in to the back of the unit. Use a .050" Allen Wrench to tighten the Mounting Studs until the stop contacts the case. Be careful not to overtighten as this may damage the Mounting Stud! The studs have a reusable thread-locking patch pre-applied from the factory. Place the unit in position in the cut out in the mounting surface. Place washers over the Mounting Studs, then thread on one Hex Nut per Mounting Stud. Tighten all four until the unit is snug against the mounting surface. Install and tighten the second Hex Nut on all four Mounting Studs to lock the first one in place.

DRILL A 3/8" HOLE. BEGIN CUTTING HERE
