IN-DASH MOUNTING THE CONTROL HEAD
If you are in-dash mounting the control head, start by placing the components on the
surfaces where you intend to install them before installation. Make sure that the
surfaces you have chosen provide adequate protection from wave shock, and that all
cables can reach the control head.
NOTE: If a cable is too short for your application, extension cables are available. Call
Humminbird® Customer Support at 1-800-633-1468 for more information.
Parts and tools specific to In-dash mounting are:
• In-dash mount bracket and threaded rods
• In-dash mounting foam pads
• In-dash mounting template
• Reciprocating saw for cutting dash material
• Masking tape to hold mounting template in place.
1. Locate a suitable, flat area of the dash to mount the control head. The control
head requires a depth of at least 3 ½ inches.
2. Tape the paper In-Dash Mounting template to the desired in-dash mounting
location.
3. At a location inside the dotted line on the template, drill a hole large enough to insert
blade of reciprocating saw. Carefully begin cutting toward the dotted line, then
follow the dotted line around the template. Remove the template when finished.
4. Insert and tighten the two threaded rods into the two threaded inserts located
on the back side of the control head. Peel off the adhesive-backed foam pads and
place them on the back of the control head; make sure you notice the difference
between the longer top/bottom and shorter side pads.
5. Insert the control head through the mounting hole from the front side of the
dash. From the back side of the dash, align the two threaded rods on the rear of
the housing with the two holes on the in-dash mounting bracket. Place a
washer onto each threaded rod, then secure bracket by placing a wing nut onto
each threaded rod and tighten fully.
6. Insert cable connectors into the proper recesses on the cable collector insert.
The cable connectors are keyed to prevent reverse installation, so be careful not
to force the connectors into the wrong slots. If you don’t have a cable for every
hole in the insert, install the blank plugs to protect the unit from the weather.
