Bracket (Trunnion) Mounting - Raymarine axiom 7 Installation Instructions Manual

3.3 Bracket (Trunnion) mounting

The bracket can be used to mount your MFD on a horizontal surface, the bracket can also be used to
mount the MFD in an above head installation.
Ensure you have chosen a suitable mounting location for your MFD, with sufficient head room to
allow the MFD's angle to be adjusted or the MFD to be removed if necessary. If installing 'above
head' take extra care to ensure the knobs are tightened sufficiently to prevent them coming undone
due to vibration when underway.
Note: The illustration depicts an Axiom™ 7 being mounted on a plastic trunnion bracket. The
trunnion bracket supplied with the Axiom™ 9 and Axiom™ 12 are made from metal and so look
different than the trunnion shown. A metal trunnion bracket is also available for the Axiom™ 7 as an
accessory; Part number: R70528.
1. Using the Bracket as a template, Mark and drill 4 x pilot holes on the mounting surface.
2. Use self tapping screws to secure the trunnion bracket to the mounting surface.
If the mounting surface is too thin for the screws provided, use stainless steel machine screws,
washers and locking nuts, alternatively reinforce the rear of the mounting surface.
3. Using the bracket knobs, secure the MFD to the Bracket, ensuring the ratchet teeth are correctly
engaged.
The knobs should be tightened by hand, sufficiently to prevent the MFD from moving whilst your
vessel is underway.
4. Route and connect necessary cables.
