Important Safety Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings, cautions, and notices could result in personal injury, damage to the vessel or
device, or poor product performance.
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other
important information.
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or
product damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse must be in place as indicated in the product
specifications. In addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate fuse in place voids the product
warranty.

Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device and vessel, disconnect the vessel's power supply
before beginning to install the device.
To avoid possible personal injury or damage to the device or vessel, before applying power to the device, make
sure that it has been properly grounded, following the instructions in the guide.
NOTICE
For the best possible performance, the device must be installed according to these instructions.
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface to avoid damaging the vessel.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the installation. If you experience difficulty during the

  • Page 3: Bail Mounting The Device

    Bail Mounting the Device NOTICE If you are mounting the bracket on fiberglass with screws, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer. This will help to avoid cracking in the gel-coat layer when the screws are tightened.

    Flush Mounting the Device NOTICE Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the device. There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could compromise the stability of the device after it is mounted.
  • Page 5: Connection Considerations

    16 Starting in one corner of the mounting location, place a nut plate on the back of the mounting surface, lining up the large and small holes. The raised portion of the nut plate should fit into the larger hole. 17 Secure the nut plates to the mounting surface by fastening the included M3 screws through the smaller 3.6 mm (...
