Bracket Installation
Mount the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearance
behind the unit when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. This must
be a location with a clear view of the sky, so the internal GPS
antenna can lock-on to the satellite signals. You should also make
sure there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power and
transducer cables.
Holes in the bracket's base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting.
You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin fiber-
glass panels to reinforce the panel and secure the mounting hardware.
Install the gimbal bracket. Position the bracket so the arms slope to-
ward the front of your unit.
Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power and transducer
cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal
bracket location. This way, the bracket can be installed so that it covers
the hole, holds the cables in position and results in a neat installation.
Some customers prefer to mount the bracket to the side of the cable
hole. It's a matter of personal preference.
