Mounting The Sounder; To Surface Mount The Sounder - Garmin GPSMAP 235 Sounder Owner's Manual

Mounting the Sounder

The unit' s waterproof case is suitable for mounting in exposed locations or at the
nav station. The unit comes with a gimbal bracket that can be used for surface or
overhead mounting. When choosing a location for the unit, make sure you consider
the following conditions:
• There should be at least a 3" (7.7 cm) clearance behind the case to allow room for con-
necting the antenna, power/data cables, and ferrite clamp.
• The unit should not be mounted where it is exposed to excessive temperatures for extend-
ed periods of time (see page 95).
• The mounting surface should be heavy enough to support the unit and protect it from
excessive vibration and shock.

To surface mount the sounder:

1. Place the mounting bracket in the desired location.
2. Mark and drill the four mounting holes for the fastener you are using.
3. Fasten the mounting bracket to the surface using the appropriate fasteners (not included).
4. Insert the unit into the mounting bracket. The mount is designed for a tight fit to provide
additional support when swiveling the unit.
5. Screw the two mounting knobs into the mounting bracket.
6. Connect the power/data, antenna, and transducer cables to the back of the unit, making
sure the locking rings are tightened on all connectors.
