To flush mount the GPSMAP 182/182C unit using the
gimbal mounting bracket:
1. Cut a 4.33 " x 4.33 " (110 x 110 mm) hole in the panel.
2. Place the GPSMAP 182/182C into the hole from the front
until the flange rests against the mounting surface.
3. From the back of the panel, loosely attach the bracket so
the slot in the ratchet area points away from the mounting
panel (figure 1).
4. Rotate the bracket downward until the panel is pinched
tightly between the unit’s flange and bracket lobe (figure 1).
5. Tighten the knobs and connect the power/data and antenna
cables.
NOTE: if the panel is too thick to allow use of the supplied
knobs, use two M6 screws to secure the bracket.

The GPSMAP 182/182C, with external antenna, can be flush
mounted on a flat panel using its existing mounting bracket.
To flush mount the GPSMAP 182/182C:
1. Remove the four M5 screws from the back of the unit and
remove the mounting bracket.
2. Using the mounting bracket as a template, outline the
center relief area and mark the location of the four screw
holes centers on your bulkhead or other surface (figure 2).
3. Cut the relief hole from the panel and drill the four 0.20"
(5.08 mm) screw holes.
4. Place the GPSMAP 182/182C into the relief hole until it
rests flush against the mounting surface.
5. Secure the unit to the mounting surface using the M5
screws. Do not try to force the screws deeper into the holes
than the holes allow. For thick mounting surfaces, insert
the M5 screws directly thru the drilled holes (figure 3). For
thin panels, place the mounting bracket on the back side
of the panel for more support. Connect the power/data and
antenna cables.
