INSTALLATION - Bracket

You can install the MagnaView on the top of a dash or from an overhead
with the supplied bracket. It can also be installed in the dash with an
optional IDA-3 mounting kit. If you use the supplied bracket, you may be
interested in the optional GBSA-1 swivel bracket kit. This converts the
MagnaView's gimbal bracket to a swivel mount which can be used on the
dash or overhead mounting positions. Installation instructions for the in-
dash and swivel mounting kits are supplied with the adapter kits.
Mount the MagnaView in any convenient location, provided there is
clearance when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. Holes in the bracket's
base allow wood screw or through bolt mounting. It may be necessary to
place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin panels to reinforce the
panel. Make certain there is enough room behind the unit to attach the
power and transducer cables.
Drill a hole in the dash for the power and transducer cables. The best
location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket. This way, the
bracket covers the hole. The smallest hole the MagnaView's power and
transducer cable connectors can pass through is 3/4". However, you can't
pass a power or transducer connector and another cable through a 5/8"
hole. Therefore, after drilling the hole, pass the transducer connector up
through the hole from under the dash. Then drop the power cable down
from the front side of the dash. After installing the transducer, route its
cable to the unit by passing it through the hole from under the dash. Slide
the bracket over the hole, then route the transducer and power cables out
the slot in the back of the bracket. Finally, fasten the bracket to the dash.
