INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS

Getting Started

See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
Mounting Considerations
• You must mount the camera in a location where it is not
submerged.
• You should mount the camera within 76 m (250 ft.) of a
chartplotter. The range depends on your installation location
and obstacles between the camera and the chartplotter. If the
camera is out of range of the chartplotter due to obstacles or
distance, you must reposition the camera.
• You should test the camera in your desired location before
you permanently mount the camera.
• You should mount the camera so that the cable can be
connected easily.
• You should mount the camera in a location where it cannot
be damaged by docks, pilings, or other pieces of equipment.
• You should mount the camera so it does not present a
hazard in doorways or walkways.
• You should mount the camera in a location where you can
remove the camera.
Mounting the Camera
1 1
Using a 3.2 mm ( / in.) drill bit, drill a pilot hole.

NOTE: If you are mounting the camera onto fiberglass, it is
recommended to use a countersink bit to drill a clearance
counterbore through the top gelcoat layer only, but no
deeper. This will help to avoid cracking the gelcoat layer
when the screws are tightened.
2 Using the included screw, fasten the camera mount to the
mounting surface.
3 Insert the camera into the housing

Connecting to Power

damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse
must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In
addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate
fuse in place voids the product warranty.
