Figure 1 – Mounting the SSC200 to a Horizontal Surface
2.3.2 Mounting the SSC200 to a Vertical Surface
Mounting the SSC200 compass to a vertical surface requires that the provided mounting
brackets be fastened to the side of the SSC200 using the provided brass flat head screws.
Once the mounting brackets are securely fastened to the side of the SSC200, attach the
SSC200 securely to the vessel using the included brass mounting screws or other non-ferrous
fasteners as shown in Figure 2. Do not use threadlocking compounds containing methacrylate
ester, such as Loctite Red (271), as they will cause stress cracking of the plastic enclosure.
The usual way of mounting the SSC200 to a vertical surface is attaching the SSC200 to the
forward side of a vertical surface, so that the side of the compass with the connectors is facing
the bow of the boat; however, the SSC200 may be mounted to the astern side of a vertical
surface, so that the side of the compass with the connectors is facing the stern of the boat,
provided that the SSC200 is programmed to recognized that it is mounted in this way
(“backwards”). This can be done using a Maretron display product (e.g., DSM200 - please
refer to the DSM200 user’s manual for details).
