Lowrance electronic 540c Baja - Manual (Page 28)

Mounting the Unit: Bracket or Portable
You can install the GlobalMap 540c on the top of a dash with the sup-
plied gimbal bracket. It can also be mounted on a portable power supply.
If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested in the optional
R-A-M
® bracket mounting system. This converts the unit's gimbal
bracket to a swivel mount, which can be used on the dash or overhead
mounting positions. R-A-M offers permanent mounts and temporary
mounts suitable for many vehicle types. See your Lowrance dealer or
visit the LEI web site (
www.lei-extras.com
) for the latest options; ac-
cessory ordering information is on the inside back cover of this man-
ual. For a complete look at the many mounting options, visit the RAM
web site at

Bracket Installation
Mount the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearance
behind it when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make
sure there is enough room behind it to attach the power, transducer and
GPS antenna/receiver module cables.
Holes in the bracket's base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting.
You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin fiber-
glass panels to reinforce the panel and secure the mounting hardware.
