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
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.
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.

Fixed-Bail Mounting the Device
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
surface and for the bail-mount bracket.

Using the bail-mount bracket as a template, mark the pilot

Flush Mounting the Device
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 flush-
mount template and appropriate hardware.
1 Trim the template and make sure it fits in the location where
you want to mount the device.
2
Secure the template to the mounting location.

Using a jigsaw or rotary cutting tool, cut the mounting surface
along the inside of the solid line indicated on the template.
5 Place the device into the cutout to test the fit.
6 If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
the hole.

If your device has trim caps, use a pry tool, such as a flat
piece of plastic or a screwdriver, to carefully pry up the
