cleaning all the surfaces can be performed using the following procedure: Use a
clean, soft, lint-free cloth to clean the glass. We recommend using a micro-fiber
cloth. Spray a small amount of ammonia-free cleaner (isopropyl alcohol) onto the

2.0 MOUNTING THE GPS CHART PLOTTER
The CP590 is supplied with hardware for bracket or flush mounting. Below are pictures
showing actual examples of the two types of installation.
BRACKET Mount FLUSH Mount
2.1 BRACKET MOUNTING
Beforeinstalling ensure thearea the bracketis mounted tois strong enough tosupport the
weightoftheGPSChartPlotterespeciallywhileunderway.Afterthelocationisfound,attach
the mounting base to the area using the supplied hardware.
The CP590 is supplied with a flush mount template for the cutout hole and screw holes
required to install the GPS Chart Plotter. NOTE
Before drilling holes make sure there is enough room to mount the GPS Chart Plotter and there
areno obstructions.
1. Afteralocationisfound,peelthetemplate label from the backing and applythelabelto
the mounting area.

4. Install the mounting studs on the GPS Chart Plotter and insert into the mounting hole.
5. Attach the GPS Chart Plotter to the mounting location by attaching the supplied
hardware to the mounting studs.

Choose a location for the antenna that has a clear view of the sky and is not located within
3 Ft of a Radar or other transmitting antennas. Ensure there are no major obstructions or
fixturesintheimmediateproximitytotheantenna.Theantennareliesondirect“lineofsight”
satellitereception.Ifyouareunsureofthechosen location, temporarily mount the antenna
in the desired location to verify correct operation. If mounted close to Radar, after the GPS
ChartPlotter has afix, turn onthe Radar to ensure the GPS Chart Plotter holds the fix(use

used on a wide range of mounting brackets.
NOTE
The antenna cable can be cut and spliced to ease installation. Care must be taken when
reconnecting the antenna cable to protect from water and corrosion.
2.3.0 Flush mounting the antenna
NOTE
Beforedrillingholes,it is recommended the antennabepositionedwherethe location is planned,
cable connected to the GPS Chart Plotter and power turned On to ensure a GPS Fix is received.
1. Remove the threaded base from the antenna dome.
2. To ease installation a flush mounting template for the antenna has been included.
3. Apply the mounting template sticker to the area that was verified for GPS reception.
4. Then, drill out the 0.78” (20mm) and 0.13” (3.2mm) holes, and remove the template.
5. Insert the cable into the 0.78” (20mm) hole and route to the GPS Chart Plotter.
6. Apply a small amount or RTV to the underside of the antenna.
7. Place the antenna and then screw it into place using the screws.
NOTE
In some cases the screw may not be long enough. If this happens simply apply more RTV to the
underside of the antenna to glue it into place.
