5-3 Mounting the Explorer 443s/443sp Display Unit

There are two mounting arrangements:
· Flush mounting requires a solid panel
with access behind for wiring and
mounting screws.

mounting the bracket. The bracket can
be rotated and tilted.
Select a position where the display head will be:
· At least 4" (100 mm) away from the
compass.
· At least 12" (300 mm) away from any radio
transmitter.
· At least 4' (1.2 m) away from any antenna.
· Easy to read by the helmsman and crew
while underway.

rough sea passages.

cables.
