GMM™ Installation Instructions

Important Safety Information

 WARNING

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the 

product box for product warnings and other important 

information.
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line 

fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product 

damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse 

must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In 

addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate 

fuse in place will void the product warranty.

 CAUTION

Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask 

when drilling, cutting, or sanding.

NOTICE

When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite 

side of the surface.

Mounting Considerations

NOTICE

This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed 

to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range 

for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended 

exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature 

range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device 

failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related 

consequences are not covered by the warranty.

Using the included hardware and template, you can mount the 

device using one of two methods. You can use the included 

bracket and hardware to bail mount the device, or you can use 

the included template and hardware to flush mount the device in 

the dashboard. To mount the device so it appears flat with the 

front of the dashboard, you must purchase a flat-mount kit (sold 

separately, with professional installation recommended) from 

your Garmin® dealer.
When selecting a mounting location, observe these 

considerations.
• The location should not be directly exposed to the elements. 

The rear housing of the device is not water or weather-

resistant.

• The location should provide optimal viewing as you operate 

your boat.

• The location should allow for easy access to all device 

interfaces, such as the keypad, touchscreen, and card 

reader, if applicable.

• The location must be strong enough to support the weight of 

the device and protect it from excessive vibration or shock.

• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device 

should not be installed closer to a compass than the 

compass-safe distance value listed in the product 

specifications.

• The location must allow room for the routing and connection 

of all cables.

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.
A blue rubber seal is included for each DVI port on the device. 

This seal must be installed between each DVI port and DVI-

cable connector to avoid damage to the connectors.
A gray rubber seal is included for each VGA port on the device. 

This seal must be installed between each VGA port and VGA-

cable connector to avoid damage to the connectors. When 

installing the seal, the arrow on the side of the seal must point 

toward the device.

The included template and hardware can be used to flush 

mount the device in your dashboard. To mount the device so 

the screen is flat with the dashboard, you must purchase a flat-

mount kit from your Garmin dealer.
Trim the template and make sure it fits in the location where 

you want to flush mount the device.

Remove the protective liner from the back of the template 

and adhere it to the location where you want to mount the 

device.

Using a 3/8 in. (9.5 mm) 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, cut the mounting surface along the inside of 

the solid line indicated on the template.

Place the device in the cutout to test the fit.
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of 

the cutout.

After the device fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the 

mounting holes on the device line up with the larger 9/32 in. 

(7.2 mm) holes on the template.

If the mounting holes on the device do not line up, mark the 

new hole locations.

Using a 9/32 in. (7.2 mm) drill bit, drill the larger holes.
10Starting in one corner of the template, place a nut plate 

À 

over the larger hole
