THE

 GPSMAP 292/298

Tools (not included)—Drill, Screwdriver (Phillips or Standard), 

three #8 (4 mm) pan head machine bolts with matching nuts 

and washers and a 5/32” (5 mm) drill bit, OR three #8 pan head 

self-tapping screws and an appropriately-sized drill bit for drilling 

starter holes. Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust 

mask when drilling, cutting or sanding.

The swivel base is designed to be secured 

using a pan head screw or machine bolt. If 

you use a screw with a countersunk head, 

you risk damaging the Mounting Base.

1.   Using the swivel base as a template, mark the location of 

the three holes that are used to secure the bracket to the 

mounting surface.

2.   If securing the base with machine bolts, drill three 5/32”  

(5 mm) holes at the locations you marked.  

OR 

If you are securing the base with self-tapping screws, drill 

starter holes at the locations you marked. Starter holes 

should generally be no deeper than half the screw length.

3.  Secure the swivel base with three bolts or screws.  

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

4.  Place the rest of the mount over the swivel base and secure 

with the short knob.

The GPSMAP 292/298 with external antenna can be flush mounted 

on a flat panel. When flush mounting the GPSMAP 292/298, be 

sure to choose an appropriately sized location for the unit (see unit 

dimensions on

the data card slot for inserting or removing data cards. A Flush 

Mount Template is provided in the package. Use the instructions on 

the template to complete the flush mount installation.
