• Mount the unit in an area with low shock and vibration (near the center of gravity to the hull as
possible).
• Mount far away from any electromagnetic wave sources (radio antennas, etc.).
• Mount horizontally, and not on the ceiling.
• Mount as far away as possible from any magnetic interference and power cables.
• Mount at least 50cm (20") away from the following:
• Engines, generators, steel fuel and water tanks
• Bilge pump, anchor, anchor chain
• Radio antenna cables
• Metal mast support and keel
• Mount in a location where it is easy to adjust or perform maintenance.
