with only with hardware for bracket mounting due to the internal design of the GPS antenna.

The CP180 and CP180i can be mounted using the supplied swivel mounting bracket. Before
installing ensure the area the GPS chart plotter's bracket is mounted to is strong enough
to support the weight of the GPS chart plotter especially while under way.
After the location is found, attach the mounting base to the area using the supplied hardware.
