Head unit installation

Before installing your new CD Receiver, please become familiar with all the information contained in this manual.

Choose a mounting location where the unit will not distract or otherwise interfere with the pilot’s ability to control the boat.

Use only the installation parts and hardware provided with the unit to ensure proper installation. Using other parts can cause malfunction and possible damage to your CD receiver.

Do not install this unit at an angle in excess of 30º from horizontal, as it may affect performance.

Although this unit has been designed for outdoor use, you can extend its life if you install it in a location which is not subject to extreme temperatures, from such sources as heaters or exhaust lines. Also, if you see dirt, dust or debris on a disc or in the CD slot, remove it with a clean cloth to avoid pushing it into the player mechanism.

To remove dirt from the faceplate, use a clean cloth lightly moistened with filtered water. If the unit is splashed with water, wipe it off with such a clean damp cloth before the water has dried to avoid an accumulation of salts on the face of the unit.

If properly installed, this unit will meet the IPX5 Waterproof standard. Please note that this does NOT mean the unit is submersible, but will resist being sprayed and splashed as might occur in a normal boat cabin.

To ensure that the installation meets the IPX5 Waterproof Standard, please follow these steps carefully.

1. Remove the transport screws from the top of the enclosure before beginning the installation.

Fig 1 Remove transport screws

2. Place the two pieces of plastic film provided over the two screw holes to prevent water penetration.

3. Insert and tighten the “headless” support screw into the back of the head unit where shown.

4. Insert the mounting case for the head unit into the dashboard. Inspect the dashboard material to determine its approximate thickness. Select the appropriate support tabs and bend them outward to secure the bracket in place (Figure 3).

5. Bend the backstrap to conform to the mounting case and the dashboard surface to which you plan to secure the backstrap (Figure 4). Slide one of the utility holes on the backstrap onto the support screw and fasten it with the spring washer and nut provided.

6. Using the 5 x 25mm screw and the plain washer, secure the backstrap to the dashboard surface as shown in the diagram. Tighten, secure, and check the overall mounting to be sure it is safe and will not release in an emergency stop or other sudden movement of the vehicle.

3. Push the panel mechanism back into the housing so it is not protruding. To do so, push the BOTTOM EDGE down straight into the unit – do not lift it! (Figure 7).

4. Immediately place the front panel in its protective case for safe and clean storage (Figure 8).

Should you need to remove the head unit, first remove and store the front panel as described on the preceding page.

After you have removed the front panel, insert the removal keys supplied with the head unit into the two removal slots as shown in the drawing until you feel a “click.” You can now use the levers to pull the unit from the mounting surface. (Figures 10 and 11).

Remote control installation

FLUSH MOUNT

The Marine Remote Commander has been designed with particular attention to ease and flexibility in installation.

It can be mounted in both flush-mount and surface mount situations. Both use our exclusive “push and turn” system. In both types of mountings, you will first attach the mounting cup in place.

Once the cup is secure, you simply feed the wires thru the hole in the back of the cup (flush mount) or the lower edge of the cup (surface mount) and then insert and turn the remote until it is engaged.

Place O-ring in groove on rear surface of flange of cup.

Follow these steps for a successful installation:

1. Select the proper location which accomodates the 3.45” overall diameter, and mark its centerpoint.

2. Drill a hole with diameter of 3.2”-

3.3” (82-84mm). It is very important

that the hole does not exceed 3.3”.

3. Place the O-ring provided in the groove on the rear surface of the flange of the mounting cup.

4. Insert mounting arms fully into mounting tube.

5. Insert mounting screws provided through the slots in the cup and into the threaded holes in the mounting arms. Do not tighten more than a few turns.

6. Insert this assembly fully into the hole you have cut so that the flange rests on the the mounting surface.

Be sure the cup is oriented with arrow next to the word TOP is pointing UP or your remote will be turned when it is installed!

Insert the cup assembly fully into the hole you have cut.
