Bail Mounting a Device with a Swivel Base

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.

You can install the optional swivel base (included) on the bail mount, so you can turn the device for a wider range of viewing angles.

NOTE: The swivel base is not available for ECHOMAP™ UHD2 9 sv models.
  1. If you do not want to use the included wood screws to secure the swivel base, select the mounting hardware appropriate for the swivel base and your mounting surface.
    NOTICE

    Only pan-head machine bolts or self-tapping screws should be used to secure the swivel base. If you use screws with countersunk heads, you may damage the mounting bracket.

  2. Using the swivel base Callout number 1 as a template, mark the pilot holes Callout number 2 through the outer three screw holes.

  4. Press the hex end of the lock nut Callout number 3 into the center recess on the underside of the swivel base.

    The dome end of the lock nut must face the mounting surface.

  5. Align the outer three screw holes in the swivel base with the pilot holes.
