There are two mounting arrangements:
• Flush mounting requires a solid panel with
access behind for wiring and mounting screws.
After flush mounting, the FISH 4500/4600
cannot be tilted or moved after installation
to reduce any unwanted glare or reflections.
Carefully select the best viewing position before
installation. This would generally be in a shaded
area.
• Bracket mounting requires a panel for mount-
ing the bracket. Ensure that the panel is not
likely to deform and is not subject to excessive
vibration. The bracket can be tilted and rotated
so the FISH 4500/4600 can be removed after
each use.
Select a position where the display unit will be:
• At least 4” (100 mm) away from the com-
pass.
• At least 12” (300 mm) away from any radio
transmitter.
• At least 4 ft. (1.2 m) away from any antenna.
• Easy to read by the helmsman and crew
