Bracket Installation

Mount the unit 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 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power and transducer
cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal
bracket location. This way, the bracket can be installed so that it covers
the hole, holds the cables in position and results in a neat installation.
Some customers, however, prefer to mount the bracket to the side of the
cable hole — it's a matter of personal preference.
After drilling the hole, pass the transducer connector up through the
hole from under the dash. Drop the power cable's bare-wire end down
though the hole from the top.
