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 flush 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.

GPSMAP 7015 or a GPSMAP 7215 chartplotter.
