1. MOUNTING
1.7
Control Box
The control box is preattached to the hull unit. When mounting the control box sepa-
rately from the hull unit, use the optional extension box. The control box must be in-
stalled on a bulkhead.
Mounting considerations
Select a mounting location, keeping in mind the following points:
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources.
• Locate the unit away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Select a mounting location considering the length of the cables to be connected to
the unit.
• Select a location where shock and vibration are minimal.
• Be sure the mounting location is strong enough to support the weight of the unit.
• Referring to the outline drawings at the back of this manual, allow sufficient space
for maintenance and service.
• A magnetic compass will be affected if the unit is placed too close to the magnetic
compass. Observe the compass safe distances at the front of this manual to prevent
interference to a magnetic compass.
• Secure the unit so that the cable entrance faces downward.
When mounting the control box separately from the hull unit
1. Unfasten the four hex nuts, spring washers and flat washers to remove the control
box from the hull unit.
Note: The removed hex nuts, spring washers and flat washers are re-used when
mounting the extension box to the hull unit.
2. Drill four pilot holes in the mounting location for mounting screws (M10 bolt), re-
ferring to the outline drawing at the back of this manual.
3. Screw two mounting screws (supplied locally) into the lower pilot holes. Leave 5
mm of thread visible.
4. Set the notches of the unit onto the screws fastened at step 3.
