2 GPSMAP 6000/7000 Series Installation Instructions
Mounting the GPSMAP 6000/7000 Series Chartplotter
You can mount the GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotters using one of two methods. You can use the included bracket to bail mount the
chartplotter, or you can use the included template and hardware to ush mount the chartplotter.
Mount the GPSMAP 6000/7000 series chartplotter in a location that provides a clear, glare-free view of the display and easy operation of the
controls or touch screen.
NOTE: You cannot bail mount the GPSMAP 7015/7215 chartplotters. Because of the larger size of these devices, you must ush mount a
GPSMAP 7015 or a GPSMAP 7215 chartplotter.
Bail Mounting the GPSMAP 6000/7000 Series Chartplotter
Use the included bracket to bail mount a GPSMAP 6008, 6208, 6012, 6212, 7012, or a GPSMAP 7212 chartplotter.
Tools required (not included):
Drill and drill bits
Pencil
Mounting hardware (screws or nuts, washers, and bolts)
NOTE: The bail-mounting hardware (screws or nuts, washers, and bolts) is not included. The holes on the bail mount are

the drill bit required depends on the mounting hardware you use.
