to install the bail-mount bracket without the cables routed through the bracket:
1. Using the included bail-mount bracket template, determine the best place to install the bracket. Be sure to leave adequate clearance behind
the chartplotter for the wiring.
NotE: To avoid interference, mount the GPSMAP 700 series chartplotter at least 32 in. (813 mm) from a magnetic compass.
2. The bail-mount bracket template has adhesive on the back. Remove the protective liner and apply the template to the location at which you
want to install the bail-mount bracket.
3. Use a
/
in. (3 mm) drill bit to drill the four outer pilot holes marked on the template. Do not drill the two pilot holes marked on the cable-

organization bracket.
NotE: If you are mounting the chartplotter in fiberglass, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance-counter bore through
only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid any cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened.
4. Remove the bail-mount bracket template from the mounting surface.
5. Secure the bail mount to the surface using the four included 35 mm M 4.2 × 1.4 screws.
NotE: Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into fiberglass and overtightened. Garmin recommends applying an anti-galling,
stainless anti-seize lubricant to the screw before using.
to install the GPSMAP 700 series chartplotter on the bail-mount bracket:
1. Loosely attach the mounting knobs to the GPSMAP 700 series chartplotter.
2. Slide the chartplotter onto the bail mount, and tighten the mounting knobs.
Flush Mounting the Chartplotter
Hardware (included):
• Flush-mount template
• Four 35 mm M 4.2 × 1.4 screws
To flush mount a GPSMAP 700 series chartplotter:
1. The flush-mount template is included in the product box. Trim the template and ensure it will fit in the location where you want to flush mount
the chartplotter.
NotES:
•
Make sure the surface on which you mount the chartplotter has adequate open space behind it to fit the chartplotter and the connected
cables, and make sure to leave approximately
sun cover.
•
To avoid interference, mount a GPSMAP 700 series chartplotter at least 32 in. (813 mm) from a magnetic compass.
2. The flush-mount template has adhesive on the back. Remove the protective liner and apply the template to the location at which you want to
mount the chartplotter.
3. Using a
/
in. (9.5 mm) drill bit, drill a pilot hole inside the corner of the template to begin cutting the mounting surface.

4. Using the jigsaw, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the solid line indicated on the flush-mount template. Use a file and sandpaper
to refine the size of the hole.
5. If the top and bottom mounting covers are attached to the front of the chartplotter, remove them by unsnapping the covers from the sides.
6. Place the chartplotter in the hole, and make sure that the mounting holes on the chartplotter line up with the pilot holes on the flush-mount
template after cutting, sanding, and filing the hole. If they do not line up, mark the locations where the pilot holes need to be.
7. Using the center punch, indent the center of each of the mounting-hole locations.
8. Using a
/
in. (3 mm) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.
