Garmin GPSMAP 3005C 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.

NOTICE

Paper size (example):
Use appropriate size paper.

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.

5.5" (140.00 mm)

4.25"

(108.00 mm)

DRILL A 3/8" (6 mm) HOLE

TO START CUTTING.

CUT THE MOUNTING SURFACE
ON THE INSIDE OF THIS LINE.

DRILL THE 1/8" (3 mm)
MOUNTING HOLES
BEFORE CUTTING.

Be very careful when cutting. There is 1/8”
clearance between the case and the
mounting stud holes. If the cutout is tight, file
or sand the cutout to obtain the correct fit.

1. Trim the Flush Mount Template for fit and tape it in the desired location.

2. Using a center punch, indent the center of each mounting hole location.

3. Drill the four mounting holes using a 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit.

4. Drill a 3/8" (6 mm) hole to begin cutting the mounting surface.

5. Cut along the inside of the indicated line. Be very careful when cutting this hole,
because there is 1/8" clearance between the case molding and the mounting holes.

6. Install the four mounting studs into the unit by screwing the shorter, threaded section
into the back of the unit. Use a 1/16" (2 mm) Allen Wrench to tighten the mounting studs
until the stops contact the case. Do not overtighten the studs. The studs have a
factory-applied thread-locking patch.

7. Position the GPSMAP 3005C in the cut out of the mounting surface.

8. 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
into place.
