Flush Mounting the Fishfi nder 250/250C Unit
The Fishfi nder 250/250C can be fl ush mounted on a fl at panel. When fl ush mounting the Fishfi nder
250/250C, be sure to choose an appropriately sized location for the unit. Check that all cables reach the
unit mounting location before beginning installation. Use the Flush Mount Template provided in the box to
determine a location. Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when drilling, cutting or sanding.
To fl ush mount the Fishfi nder 250/250C:
Included Mounting Hardware — 4 - 3mm Studs, 4 - Flat Washers, 8 - 3mm Hex Nuts.
Tools (not included) — Center Punch, Drill, 1/8” (3mm) Drill Bit, 3/8” (6mm) Drill Bit, Jig Saw, 1/16”
(2mm) Allen Wrench, 9/35” (7mm) Wrench.
1. Trim the Flush Mount Template and tape in the desired location.
2. Using a Center Punch, indent the center of each Mounting Hole location.
3. Using a 1/8” (3mm) drill bit, drill the four Mounting Holes.
4. Using a 3/8” (6mm) drill bit, drill a hole for a location to begin cutting the mounting surface.
5. Using the Jig Saw, cut the mounting surface along the inside of the dashed line indicated on the
template. Be very careful when cutting this hole, there is only a small amount of clearance
between the unit and the Mounting Holes. It may be prudent to cut slightly inside the indicated
line and then sand or fi le the panel as needed to obtain the best fi t.
6. Install the four Mounting Studs into the unit by screwing the shorter section into the back of the unit.
Use a 1/16” (2mm) Allen Wrench to tighten the Mounting Studs until the stops contact the case. Be
careful not to overtighten as this may damage the Mounting Stud. The studs have a reusable thread-
locking patch pre-applied from the factory.
7. Place the unit in position inside the cutout area of the mounting surface.
8. Place washers over the Mounting Studs, then thread on one Hex Nut per Mounting Stud. Tighten all four
Hex Nuts until the unit is snug against the mounting surface. Install and tighten the second Hex Nut on
all four Mounting Studs to lock the fi rst Hex Nut in place.
