It is crucial to ensure the mounting template is printed at actual size. To do this, when the document is open in Adobe Acrobat Reader, you must:

Select File → Properties and note the page format. Select File → Print. In the print dialog box, select Properties. Ensure the paper size matches the page format noted in step 1. Click OK to return to the print dialog. Ensure the "Size options" and "Scaling" settings are set to "Actual size" or "None". Ensure the "Auto-rotate and center pages" option is NOT checked. Select the appropriate orientation (portrait or landscape) to match the template. Always verify that the printed template matches the measurements indicated in the document before cutting.

Yes, it is absolutely essential to ensure the printed template matches the measurements indicated in the template document. A prior check guarantees the cut will be the correct size, ensuring a perfect and secure fit for the Element 7 display.

The kit is designed with mounting elements that, once the display is inserted into the cutout, firmly hold the device in place. These elements, combined with the precision of the cutout made using the template, ensure a solid and durable mounting in the marine environment.

Yes, a flush-mount kit generally includes all components required for installation, including mounting hardware such as screws, nuts, or clips, in addition to the cutting template, to ensure a complete and secure installation of the Element 7 display.
