power and transducer cables. (A drawing on the next page shows the
dimensions of a gimbal-mounted sonar unit.)
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. Orient 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, however, prefer to mount the bracket to the side of
the cable hole — it's a matter of personal preference.
