- Flush mount: You can mount the device in the dashboard, which provides a more integrated installation.
Before permanently installing any part of your device, you should plan the installation by determining the location of the various components:
- 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.
Fixed-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.
- Select the mounting hardware appropriate for your mounting surface and for the bail-mount bracket.
- Using the bail-mount bracket as a template, mark the pilot holes through the screw holes.
- Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting hardware, drill the four pilot holes.
- Using the selected mounting hardware, secure the bail-mount bracket to the mounting surface.
- Install the bail-mount knobs [knob 1] on the sides of the cradle.
- Place the cradle [cradle] into the bail-mount bracket [bracket 2], and tighten the bail-mount knobs.
- Connect each cable to a port on the cradle, using the locking bracket or locking rings to secure the cables to the cradle (Connection Considerations, page 2).

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 flush-mount template and appropriate hardware.
- Trim the template and make sure it fits in the location where you want to mount the device.
- Secure the template to the mounting location.
- Using a 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) drill bit, drill one or more of the holes inside the corners of the solid line on the template to prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
- Using a jigsaw or rotary cutting tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the solid line indicated on the template.
- Place the device into the cutout to test the fit.
- If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the hole.
- If your device has trim caps, use a pry tool, such as a flat piece of plastic or a screwdriver, to carefully pry up the corners of the trim caps [trim cap 1], slide the pry tool to the center [center 2], and remove the trim caps.
- Ensure the mounting holes on the device line up with the pilot holes on the template.
- If the mounting holes on the device do not line up with the pilot holes on the template, mark the new pilot-hole locations on your template.
- Using a 3 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.
- Remove the template from the mounting surface.
- Place the device in the cradle. NOTE: You must use the cradle and locking bracket or locking rings when you flush-mount the device.

- Route the transducer cable to the back of your device, away from sources of electrical interference.
- Connect the transducer cable to the appropriate port on the cradle.
Connecting to a Garmin Device to Share User Data
NOTE: This feature is not available on ECHOMAP UHD 7x/9x devices. The blue and brown wires on those devices can connect to NMEA 0183 devices only.
You can connect the ECHOMAP UHD 6x device to a compatible Garmin device to share user data, such as waypoints. If the devices are mounted near each other, you can connect the blue and brown wires. If the devices are mounted too far apart for the wires to reach, you can connect the devices using a User Data Sharing Cable (010-12234-06).
- Make sure both devices are connected to the same ground.
- Complete an action:
- If the devices are mounted near each other, connect the blue wire from the first device to the brown wire of the second, and connect the brown wire from the first device to the blue wire of the second.
- If the devices are not mounted near each other, obtain a User Data Sharing Cable (010-12234-06), and connect the devices following the instructions included with the cable.
- On both devices, select Nav Info > Manage Data > User Data Sharing.
User data is shared between the connected devices. If you select Clear User Data, data is removed from both connected devices.
Installing the Ferrite Beads on the Cables
To comply with regulations and to reduce noise, you can install the ferrite beads on the transducer and network cables, if ferrite beads are included with the device.
Securely snap one ferrite bead around the transducer cable and the other bead around the network cable, as close to the connectors as possible.
NMEA 2000® Considerations
NOTICE If you are connecting to an existing NMEA 2000 network, identify the NMEA 2000 power cable. Only one NMEA 2000 power cable is required for the NMEA 2000 network to operate properly.
A NMEA 2000 Power Isolator (010-11580-00) should be used in installations where the existing NMEA 2000 network manufacturer is unknown.
If you are installing a NMEA 2000 power cable, you must connect it to the boat ignition switch or through another in-line switch. NMEA 2000 devices will drain your battery if the NMEA 2000 power cable is connected to the battery directly.
You can connect your device to a NMEA 2000 network on your boat to share data from NMEA 2000 compatible devices such as sensors or a VHF radio. The necessary NMEA 2000 cables and connectors are sold separately.
If you are unfamiliar with NMEA 2000, you should read the "NMEA 2000 Network Fundamentals" chapter of the Technical Reference for NMEA 2000 Products. You can find this document using the "Manuals" link on the product page for your device at www.garmin.com.
The port labeled NMEA 2000 on the cradle is used to connect it to a standard NMEA 2000 network.
