Gimbal Installation; Change The Viewing Angle - Simrad RS10U Manual

7-4 Gimbal Installation

1. Hold the mounting gimbal at the chosen location and use a soft pencil to mark the screw hole
positions onto the mounting surface.
2. If you can't reach behind the mounting surface to attach the nuts, use the self-tapping screws
instead of the flat screws shown in the picture. If you're drilling into fibreglass, use a drill bit smaller
than 3/16" (5mm) to drill the pilot holes.
Otherwise, drill the four screw holes where marked, using a 3/16" (5mm) drill bit. Drill completely
through the mounting surface.
3. Use a Philips screwdriver and the set of four flat screws, spring washers, plain washers, and nuts to
attach the mounting gimbal to the location site.
4. Slide the radio into the mounting gimbal.
5. Insert the two mounting knobs through the holes and tighten them sufficiently to hold the radio
at the desired viewing angle.

7-5 Change the Viewing Angle

The viewing angle on the gimbal mount has a 20º tilt range. To change the current viewing angle on
the gimbal mount:
1. Support the radio, then cautiously loosen the mounting knobs until the radio can be moved.
2. Re-position the radio then tighten the mounting knobs again.
