studs into the underside of the GPS
receiver (part A).

position it at the selected mounting location upside down with the arrow facing
forward. Mark the position for the two mounting holes and the center hole for
the cable.
3. Using a 3mm or 1/8" bit, drill the pilot holes. Using a 6mm or 1/4" bit, drill the
two mounting holes for the studs. Drill the cable hole with a 38mm or 1-1/2" bit.

6. Orient the gasket with the arrow facing in the same direction as the alignment
tab on the GPS receiver. Push the gasket onto the studs and slide it over the
connector.
Note: The gasket fits one way only. A groove in the gasket fits over the align-
ment tab on the connector.

the mounting surface. Check to be sure the gasket is tucked under the lip of the
unit. From underneath the mounting surface, fasten the studs with the thumb
nuts. Hand-tighten only. Do not over tighten.
