Mounting guidelines
Choose the mounting location carefully, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or
other parts behind the panel before you drill or cut. Ensure that any cutting or drilling done is
in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat
builder, or marine electronics installer.
Do not:
•
Mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold.
•
Mount any part where it might be submerged or exposed to moisture.
•
Mount any part where it will interfere with the operation, launching, or retrieving of the boat.
Do:
•
Consider the overall width and height requirements.
•
Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables.
•
Check that it is possible to route cables to the intended mounting location.

). It is NOT recommended to mount the devices at an angle greater than
90° from horizontal (
