ECHOMAP™ ULTRA 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. When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate fuse in place voids the product warranty. CAUTION 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 obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your boat, install the device according to these instructions. Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation, contact Garmin® Product Support. Tools Needed • Drill • Drill bits ◦ Bail mount: drill bits and screws appropriate for the surface and hardware ◦ Flush mount: 3.2 mm (1/8 in.) and 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) drill bits • #2 Phillips screwdriver • Jigsaw or rotary tool • File and sandpaper • Marine sealant (optional) Mounting Considerations You can flush mount the device in the dashboard or bail mount the device on the dashboard. When selecting a mounting location, observe these considerations. • 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 the Device NOTICE 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. 1 Select the mounting hardware appropriate for your mounting surface and for the bail-mount bracket. 2 Using the bail-mount bracket as a template, mark the pilot holes . 3 Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting hardware, drill the four pilot holes. 4 Using the selected mounting hardware, secure the bail-mount bracket to the mounting surface. 5 Place the cradle into the bail-mount bracket, and tighten the bail-mount knobs . 6 Connect all necessary cables to the cradle (Connector View, page 2), and spin the locking rings clockwise to lock the cables to the cradle. NOTICE To prevent corrosion of the metal contacts, cover unused connectors with the attached weather caps. Flush Mounting the Device NOTICE 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 flushmount template and appropriate hardware. 1 Secure the template to the mounting location.
