NOTE: Installation details may vary with unit configuration.
2. Mark the mounting location and drill a 3/4" (19 mm) hole for the
cable and cable plug. Route the cable.
3. Cover the cable hole with the receiver. Make sure the receiver is
flush on the surface and mark the two mounting holes with a pencil
or punch.
4. Move the receiver to the side and drill two pilot holes using a 9/64"
(3.5 mm) bit.
NOTE: Remember to caulk or seal screw holes and drilled holes as needed to
protect your boat from water damage.
5. Align the GPS receiver screw holes over the pilot screw holes and
attach with the #8 - 1 1/4" Phillips head screws. Hand tighten only!
NOTE: If the mounting surface is thin and made of a lighter material, a backing
material may be needed below the mounting surface.
