Installation

Mounting location
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut.
For overall width and height requirements, refer to "Dimensional drawings" on page 51.
Do not mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold, where it might be submerged,
or where it will interfere with the operation, launching, or retrieving of the boat.
The unit should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see
the screen.
The unit has a high-contrast screen and is viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results
install the unit out of direct sunlight. The chosen location should have minimal glare from
windows or bright objects.
Consider the optimum viewing angle when determining installation, refer to "Viewing angle" on
page 12.
The mounting location may affect the internal GPS receiver. Test the unit in its intended
location to ensure satisfactory reception. An external GPS source can be added to overcome
poor reception areas.
Check that it is possible to route cables to the intended mounting location.
Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables.
Before cutting a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other
parts behind the panel.
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.
Ú Note:
Where flush mounted, the enclosure should be dry and well ventilated. In small
enclosures, it may be required to fit forced cooling.
Warning:
Inadequate ventilation and subsequent overheating of the unit
may cause unreliable operation and reduced service life. Exposing the unit
to conditions that exceeds the specifications could invalidate your warranty.
