4.3 Sidemount Controls Installation (optional)
A. Sidemount Handle Control Assembly
Before installing the Sidemount Control Head Assembly consider:
There are 3 types of mounting options for the installation of Sidemount
Controls.The major differences between these types of mounting options are the outside appearance of the console, and
the difficulty of installation.
Outside Console Bezel Mounting
STEP 1: Determine location of bezel hole in console by placing bezel on outside of
console where desired and mark the 1-1/4” hole and the 1/4” clearance holes, (see
figure 8) (NOTE: Clearance for control head needs to be determined on inside of
console before cutting holes; Make sure to use the correct control head mechanism
PORT or STBD when planning the hole locator. Notice location of friction control
adjustment screws in respect to console placement!).
STEP 2: Use 1-1/4” hole saw to cut center hole and drill 17/64” holes for outside flange mounting (see figure 9).
STEP 3: Place outside flange in 1-1/4” hole and place inside flange
over small diameter of outside flange on inside of console. Tighten
flanges together with 1/4” x 20 flat head screws (see figure 10) (NOTE:
Depending on console thickness, a small diameter of outside flange
and 1/4” x 20 flat head screws may need to be shortened).
STEP 4: Once Outside Flange and Inside Flange are mounted, install
(3) #10 flat head wood screws through Inside Flange. This will hold the
Inside Flange in place in case of removal in the future (see figure 11)
(NOTE: Wood screws should not be longer than the thickness of the
console).
STEP 5: Install the Control Head mechanism in flange (see figure 12)
(NOTE: The control heads are marked Port and Stb.; Adjustment
screws should face forward).
STEP 6: Establish the desired control head angle according to the
clearance in the console (see figure 13).
