CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION

You have two choices for mounting your 900 Series™ control head:
• Gimbal mounting, where you use a surface on the boat, such as the dash, to
mount the control head so that it can be tilted up or down, or
• In-dash mounting, where you cut a hole in the dash in order to allow the control
head to be recessed into the dash, and the control head cannot be moved after
mounting.
