    Mounting the GLS™ 10 Black Box Device NOTICE If you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling the pilot holes, 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.

INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the
Important Safety and Product Information
guide in the product box for product warnings and other
important information.
The device must be installed with at least one of the included anti-rotation bolts. Failure to do so could result in
the device rotating while the boat is moving and could cause damage to your vessel.
You are responsible for the safe and prudent operation of your vessel. Sonar is a tool that enhances your
awareness of the water beneath your boat. It does not relieve you of the responsibility of observing the water
around your boat as you navigate.
CAUTION
Failure to install and maintain this equipment in accordance with these instructions could result in damage or
injury.
To avoid possible personal injury, always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling,
cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your boat, you must install the Garmin
®
transducer
according to these instructions.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience difficulty during the
installation, contact Garmin Product Support.
Software
Update
You must update the Garmin chartplotter software when you install this device. For instructions on updating the
software, see your chartplotter owner's manual at
