3. Route the Sensor cable through the Positioning the Arrow stem and through the planned cable on the Compass route. To use extension cables, see the details in Section 1, Determine the Mounting Location. 4. Position the Sensor so the arrow on the cover is pointed straight toward the front of the boat in the direction of travel.
Deck Mount with Access Under Mounting Location Use the following instructions to deck mount the Sensor and route the cable down through the mounting surface: NOTE: It is important to review the mounting considerations and test run the cable route as indicated in Section 1 before proceeding with the installation.

7. Align the Sensor’s screw holes over the pilot screw holes and attach with the #8 - 1 1/4" (32 mm) screws. Hand tighten only. NOTE: If the mounting surface is thin or made of a light- weight material, you may need to add reinforcing material below the mounting surface in order to support the sensor.
Deck Mount with No Access Under Mounting Location Use the following instructions to deck mount the Sensor and route the cable to the side if there is not space for a cable underneath the mounting location. NOTE: It is important to review the mounting considerations and test run the cable route as indicated in Section 1 before proceeding with the installation.

4. Move the Sensor to the side and drill the two 5/32" (4 mm) pilot holes. NOTE: Apply marine-grade silicone caulk or sealant to both screw and drilled holes as needed to protect your boat from water damage. 5. Align the Sensor’s screw holes over the Attaching the Sensor to the Mounting Surface pilot screw holes and attach with the...
Connect the Cable Use the following instructions to connect the Sensor cable to the control head: 1. Secure the cable along its path Connecting to the GPS Port (magnified view) to the control head as needed, using cable ties (separate screw nut purchase required).
ONFIRM ENSOR PERATION It is important to confirm that the Sensor is installed and operating correctly by reviewing the GPS and heading data on the control head. NOTE: The Sensor may experience a cold start upon first power up. It may take several minutes for the Sensor to locate satellites and lock a GPS position.
Selecting a GPS Source Select GPS (1) Turn off Auto-Configure Select External GPS CI Confirm GPS Reception Use the following instructions to confirm GPS reception: 1. From the Home screen, select the GPS tool 2. Under GPS 1, select Satellites. 3.
