INSTALLATION - Bracket

You can install the Magna III on the top of a dash or from an overhead with
the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an optional
IDA-3 mounting kit. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be interested
in the optional GBSA-1 swivel bracket kit. This converts the Magna III's
gimbal bracket to a swivel mount which can be used on the dash or
overhead mounting positions. Installation instructions for the in-dash and
swivel mounting kits are supplied with the adapter kits.
Mount the Magna III in any convenient location, provided there is clearance
when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. Holes in the bracket's base allow
wood screw or through bolt mounting. It may be necessary to place a piece
of plywood on the back side of thin panels to reinforce the panel. Make
certain there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power and
transducer cables.
Drill a hole in the dash for the power and transducer cables. The best
location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket. This way, the
bracket covers the hole. The smallest hole the Magna IIII's power and
transducer cable connectors can pass through is 3/4". However, you can't
pass a power or transducer connector and another cable through a 5/8"
hole. Therefore, after drilling the hole, pass the transducer connector up
through the hole from under the dash. Then drop the power cable down
from the front side of the dash. After installing the transducer, route its
cable to the unit by passing it through the hole from under the dash. Slide
the bracket over the hole, then route the transducer and power cables out
the slot in the back of the bracket. Finally, fasten the bracket to the dash.
