IN-DASH MOUNTING THE CONTROL HEAD

If you are in-dash mounting the control head, start by placing the components on the
surfaces where you intend to install them before installation. Make sure that the
surfaces you have chosen provide adequate protection from wave shock, and that all
cables can reach the control head.
NOTE: If a cable is too short for your application, extension cables are available. Call
Humminbird® Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468 for more information.
Parts and tools specific to In-dash mounting are:
• In-dash mount bracket and threaded rods
• In-dash mounting foam pads
• In-dash mounting template
• Reciprocating saw for cutting dash material
• Masking tape to hold mounting template in place.
1. Locate a suitable, flat area of the dash to mount the control head. The
control head requires a depth of at least 3 1/2 inches.
2. Tape the provided In-Dash paper template to the desired in-dash mounting
location.
3. At a location inside the dotted line on the template, drill a hole large enough
to insert blade of reciprocating saw. Carefully begin cutting toward the
dotted line, then follow the dotted line around the template. Remove the
template when finished.
4. Insert and tighten the two threaded rods into the two threaded inserts located
on the back side of the control head. Peel off the adhesive-backed foam pads and
place them on the back of the control head; make sure you notice the difference
between the longer top/bottom and shorter side pads.
