Mounting Considerations
The fishfinder device can be mounted using the included swivel-

using the appropriate flush-mount kit (sold separately).
Before permanently installing any part of your device, you
should plan the installation by determining the location of the
various components.
• The mounting location must provide a clear view of the
screen and access to the keys on the device.
• The mounting location must be sturdy enough to support the
device and the mount.
• The cables must be long enough to connect the components
to each other and to power.
• The cables can be routed under the swivel mount or behind
the device.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device
should not be installed closer to a compass than the
compass-safe distance value listed in the product
specifications.
