Important Safety Information
WARNING
Failure to follow these warnings and cautions could result in
personal injury, damage to the vessel, or poor product
performance.
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
This device must be installed according to these instructions.
Disconnect the vessel's power supply before beginning to install
this product.
Before applying power to this product, make sure it has been
correctly grounded, following the instructions in the guide.
CAUTION
Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask
when drilling, cutting, or sanding.
NOTICE
When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite
side of the surface.
You must read all installation instructions before beginning the
installation. If you experience difficulty during the installation,
contact FUSION Product Support.
Software Updates
For best results, you should update the software in all FUSION
devices at the time of installation to ensure compatibility.
Go to www.fusionentertainment.com/marine to download the
latest software. Software updates and instructions are available
on your device product page.
Tools Needed
• Phillips screwdriver
• Electric drill
• Drill bit (size varies based on surface material and screws
used)
• Rotary cutting tool or jigsaw
• Marine sealant (optional)
Mounting Considerations
CAUTION
In high ambient temperatures and after extended use, the
device enclosure may reach temperatures deemed dangerous
to touch. As a result, the unit must be installed in a location
where it cannot be touched during operation.
NOTICE
This device should be mounted in a location that is not exposed
to extreme temperatures or conditions. The temperature range
for this device is listed in the product specifications. Extended
exposure to temperatures exceeding the specified temperature
range, in storage or operating conditions, may cause device
failure. Extreme-temperature-induced damage and related
consequences are not covered by the warranty.
When selecting a mounting location for the black box device,
observe these considerations.
• The device must be mounted in a location where it is not
submerged.
• The device must be mounted in a location with adequate
ventilation where it is not exposed to extreme temperatures.
• The device should be mounted so the cables can be
connected easily.
• To achieve IPX3 water ingress protection and optimal heat
sink cooling, the device must be mounted on a vertical
surface with the connectors pointing downward.
• The device can be mounted on a horizontal surface, but such
positioning might not achieve IPX3 water ingress protection.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device
should be installed at least 15 cm (5.91 in.) away from a
compass.
When selecting a mounting location for the remote control,
observe these considerations.
• The remote control must be mounted in a location where
there is at least 70 mm (2.75 in.) of clearance behind the
mounting surface and you can access the controls after it is
mounted.
• If you need to mount the remote control outside the cabin, it
must be mounted in a location well above the waterline,
where it is not submerged.
• If you need to mount the remote control outside the boat, it
should be mounted in a location where it will not be damaged
by a docks, pilings, or other pieces of equipment.
Mounting the BB100 Device
NOTICE
If you are mounting the device in fiberglass, when drilling the
four pilot holes, it is recommended to use a countersink bit to
drill a clearance counterbore through only the top gel-coat layer.
This will help to avoid any cracking in the gel-coat layer when
the screws are tightened.
NOTE: Stainless-steel screws may bind when screwed into
fiberglass and overtightened. It is recommended to apply an
anti-seize lubricant to the screws before installing them.
NOTE: Screws are included with the device, but they may not
be suitable for the mounting surface.
Before you mount the device, you must select a mounting
location and determine what screws and other mounting
hardware are needed for the surface.
Place the device in the mounting location and mark the
1
location of the pilot holes.
Drill a pilot hole for one corner of the device.
2
Loosely fasten the device to the mounting surface with one
3
corner and examine the other three pilot-hole marks.
Mark new pilot-hole locations if necessary, and remove the
4
device from the mounting surface.
Drill the remaining pilot holes.
5
Secure the device to the mounting location.
6
Mounting the Wired Remote Control
At the mounting location, use a 57 mm (2.25 in.) hole saw to
1
cut through the mounting surface.
Apply marine sealant around the cutout (optional).
2
Place the gasket on the back of the remote control.
3
Feed the attached cable through the cutout.
4
Place the remote control in the cutout.

Connection Considerations
The stereo must be connected to power, to speakers, and to
media input sources to function correctly. You should carefully
plan the layout of the stereo, wired remote, speakers, optional
NMEA 2000® network, and your input sources before making
any connections.

Each cable provides a single mono
output to a powered subwoofer or
subwoofer amplifier, and one or both
cables can be used, depending on the
connection requirements of the
subwoofer or amplifier.
A connected subwoofer is associated
with the volume control for zone 1.
Connecting to Power
When connecting the stereo to power, you should connect it
through the ignition or another manual switch.
If it is necessary to extend the power and ground wires, use
14 AWG (2.08 mm2) wire. For extensions longer than 1 m (3 ft.),
use 12 AWG (3.31 mm2) wire.
