Fixing screws Documentation pack U-brackets U-bracket straps (one for R2009, two for R3016) Mounting location Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The unit should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the screen.
Do not mount the R3016 in an outside location exposed to direct sunlight, it is intended for pilothouse installation only. The R2009 may be mounted both inside, or outside in direct sunlight due to a high brightness screen. Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder, or marine electronics installer.
