Mounting Considerations
The fishfinder device can be mounted using the included swivel-mount
bracket, or it can be mounted flush with the dashboard using the appropriate
flush-mount kit (sold separately).
Before permanently installing any part of your device, you should plan the
installation by determining the location of the various components.
o
The mounting location must provide a clear view of the screen and access
to the keys on the device.
o
The mounting location must be sturdy enough to support the device and
the mount.
o
The cables must be long enough to connect the components to each other
and to power.
o
The cables can be routed under the swivel mount or behind the device.
o
To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device should not be
installed closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value listed
in the product specifications.
Installing the Swivel Base
Preparing to Run Cables under the Mounting Surface
NOTICE
Use pan-head screws or bolts when securing the swivel-mount base. Screws
or bolts with countersunk heads damage the base.
Before you can prepare the swivel-mount base, you must choose the location
to install the mount and decide whether to attach the mount using screws or
bolts.
1
Remove the 10 mm M6x1 Phillips screw CD and separate the swivel mount
@ from the base
®.
2
Orient the swivel base so the pass-through holes
®
face the desired
direction.
3
Using the swivel base as a template, mark the pilot hole locations
@.
4
Mark the cable routing hole@.
5
Using the appropriate drill bit for the hardware, drill the three pilot holes.
6
Using a
5fa
in. (16 mm) drill, drill a hole through the mounting surface at
the location you marked in step 4.
Fastening the Swivel Mount without the Cables Running through
the Mount
You should complete this procedure only if you are not running the power and
transducer cables under the mounting surface and through the swivel-mount
base.
1
Place the base
<D
on the mounting surface, and fasten it using the
appropriate screws or bolts@.
