Installation
Mounting location
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The
unit should be mounted so that the operator can easily use the
controls and clearly see the screen.
The unit has a high-contrast screen and is viewable in direct
sunlight, but for best results install the unit out of direct sunlight.
The chosen location should have minimal glare from windows or
bright objects.
Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken
the boat’s structure. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder, or
marine electronics installer.
Before cutting a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden
electrical wires or other parts behind the panel.
Check that it is possible to route cables to the intended mounting
location.
Consider access to the card reader which is located in the back of
the unit.
Leave sufficient clearance to connect all relevant cables.
Do not mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold, where
it might be submerged, or where it will interfere with the operation,
launching, or retrieving of the boat.
The mounting location may affect the internal GPS receiver. Test the
unit in its intended location to ensure satisfactory reception. An
external GPS source can be added to overcome poor reception
areas.
For overall width and height requirements, refer to "Dimensional
drawings" on page 75.
Good ventilation is required. Choose a location that will not expose
the unit to conditions that exceed the specifications - refer to
"Technical specifications" on page 73.
