MOUNTING THE METERS

The meters can be installed with an electrical start model because power source is required for its
operation.

METER MOUNTING PROCEDURE

Follow the procedures below for mounting the gauges.
1. Select a mounting location so that the meter is easy to read from the operating position.
Be sure there is sufficient clearance behind the panel for the meter.
For analog meters, be sure that the angle for mounting the meter is 65 to 90 degrees.
If the analog gauge is mounted onto horizontal surface, the pointer may not return to the zero po-
sition after the engine has stopped.
2. Make a hole in the desired position.
3. Remove the fitting plate from the meter, fit the meter into the panel, and install the fitting plate
over the mounting studs.
4. Place the washers over the studs, and then evenly tighten the mounting nuts until the meter can
no longer be rotated by hand.
5. Connect the wire-harnesses to the gauges, and secure them into a boat.

* If the gauge is mounted onto 13 mm (0.5 in) or thicker board, cut out the fitting plate end so that the mount
nut is enough tightened.
