Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring, this
can be used to route cables. Be sure to route the cable as far as practical
from the antenna cable of VHF radios or tachometer cables to reduce the
possibility of interference. The GPS receiver cable should not be cut, and
care should be used not to damage the cable insulation.
Basic installation tasks that you must perform include:
• Installing the control head (choosing either gimbal or in-dash
mounting, where in-dash mounting requires a separate purchase)
• Installing the GPS Receiver (if included)
• Testing the complete installation.
NOTE: Accessories may require a separate purchase. You can visit our website

a powered hand drill and various drill bits, various hand tools, including a
Phillips head screwdriver, a socket wrench and a flat head screwdriver, a
