If you wish, you can fill in the hole around the cables with a good marine
sealant compound. (Some marine dealers stock cable hole covers to con-
ceal the opening.) No matter what type of installation you prefer, be sure
to leave enough slack in the cables to allow tilting or swiveling the
GlobalMap 5300c. If you choose to fill in the hole, be sure to position the
cables against the rear edge of the hole as you apply the fill material.
Before positioning the bracket, be sure to hold the cables against the
rear edge of the hole. Then, slide the bracket over the hole and butt the
rear of the bracket base firmly against the cables, thus pinning them in
place against the side of the hole. Finally, fasten the bracket to the
dash. Attach the unit to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal
knobs and washers.
Portable Installation
Like many Lowrance products, the GlobalMap 5300c is capable of port-
able operation by using an optional portable power pack. The power
pack expands the uses for your GPS unit. The portable power pack
makes it easy to transfer your unit from a boat to a car, recreational
vehicle, airplane or other vehicle without drilling and mounting a sec-
ond bracket. You can use your unit in your own car or boat, then take it
along when riding in a friend's vehicle that's not equipped with GPS.
Most LEI portable power packs can be used with eight "D" cell alkaline
batteries. Some use an optional sealed, rechargeable battery. For in-
formation on the PPP for your unit, see the accessory ordering informa-
tion inside the back cover of this manual.
