Frontmount Installation (Option)

Note: Do not fit the flushmount sponge to the FI-70. The unit will not lock into the frontmount panel.

Fit the frontmount panel to the console with four self-tapping screws (supplied).

Preventing water seepage from the mounting holes Preventing water seepage from the mounting holes
Where there is a risk of water seepage behind the unit or through the
screw holes, apply marine sealant around the FI-70 for waterproofing.
Referring to the figure on the right, apply masking tape to the soft
cover locking points to prevent marine sealant from blocking the
locking points.
There are eight locking points in total, four at the top rear of the unit
and four at the bottom rear of the unit.
Marine sealant blocking these locking points will prevent the soft
cover from fitting to the FI-70.

release the pin holders at the back of the panel,
