The location and viewing angle should be tested before you
install the device. High viewing angles from above and below
the display may result in a poor image.
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.
Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass
and overtightened. It is recommended to apply an anti-seize
lubricant on the screws before installing them.
You can use a bail mount bracket (not included) to bail mount
the device on a flat surface.

Using the bail-mount bracket
holes.
2
Drill the pilot holes.
3
Using appropriate mounting screws (not included), secure the
bail-mount bracket to the mounting surface.
4
Install the bail-mount knobs
5
Place the device in the bail-mount bracket and tighten the
bail-mount knobs.
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.
The included template and hardware can be used to flush mount
the device in your dashboard.
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.

3
Using a 14 mm (
/
in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes
16
inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare
the mounting surface for cutting.
4
Using a jigsaw or a rotary tool, cut the mounting surface
along the inside line on the template.
5
Place the device in the cutout to test the fit.
6
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
the cutout.
7
Use a pry tool, such as a flat piece of plastic or a screwdriver,
to carefully pry up the corners of the trim caps, slide the pry
tool to the center, and remove the trim caps.

NOTICE
as a template, mark the pilot
on the sides of the device.
NOTICE
Use a plastic pry tool when possible. Using a metal pry tool
such as a screwdriver can damage the trim caps and the
device.

After the device fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the
mounting holes on the device line up with the larger 6 mm

If the mounting holes on the device do not line up, mark the
new hole locations.

Select an option:
• If you are using a nut plate, drill a 6 mm (
larger hole location.
• If you are not using a nut plate, drill 3.2 mm (
in the larger hole locations.
11
Starting in one corner of the template, place a nut plate
over the larger hole
drilled in the previous step.
If you are using a nut plate, the smaller hole
plate should line up with the smaller hole on the template.
12
If the smaller hole on the nut plate does not line up with the
smaller hole on the template, mark the new hole location.
13
If you are using a nut plate, drill a 3.6 mm (
smaller hole location.
14
Repeat to verify placement of the remaining nut plates and
holes on the template.
15
Remove the template from the mounting surface.
16
Starting in one corner of the mounting location, place a nut
plate
on the back of the mounting surface, lining up the
large and small holes.
The raised portion of the nut plate should fit into the larger
hole.

Secure the nut plates to the mounting surface by fastening
the included M3 screws

Install the foam gasket
The pieces of the foam gasket have adhesive on the back.
Make sure you remove the protective liner before installing
them on the device.
