Mounting the GPSMAP 4000/5000 Series Chartplotter You can mount the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series chartplotters one of two ways. You can use the included bracket to bail mount the chartplotter, or you can use the included template and hardware to flush mount the chartplotter. Note: You cannot bail mount the GPSMAP 5015/5215 chartplotters. Because of the larger size, you must flush mount a GPSMAP 5015/5215 chartplotter. Bail Mounting the GPSMAP 4000/5000 Series Chartplotter Use the included bracket to bail mount the GPSMAP 4000/5000 series chartplotter. Tools required (not included): • Drill and drill bit • Screwdriver • Pencil • Mounting hardware (screws or nuts, washers, and bolts) Note: The mounting hardware (screws or nuts, washers, and bolts) are not included. The holes on the bail mount are 5/16 in. (7.9 mm) in diameter. Choose mounting hardware that fits the holes in the bail mount and securely attaches it to your specific mounting surface. The size of the drill bit required depends on the mounting hardware chosen. August 2009 Part Number 190-00779-02 Rev. F Printed in Taiwan
