Mounting Considerations
• The stereo must be mounted in a location where there is
enough clearance for the open door of the stereo as
indicated on the template.
• The stereo must be mounted in a location that allows open
airflow around the rear of the stereo for heat ventilation.
• The stereo must be mounted within 45° of the horizontal
plane.
•
The cable should have a drip loop to allow water to drip down
off the cable and avoid damaging the stereo.
• If you want to mount the stereo outside the boat, it must be
mounted in a location well above the waterline, where it is not
submerged.
• If you want to mount the stereo 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.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the stereo
should be installed at least 15 cm (5.9 in.) away from a
compass.
Mounting the Stereo
NOTICE
Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the stereo.
There is only a small amount of clearance between the case and
the mounting holes, and cutting the hole too large could
compromise the stability of the stereo after it is mounted.
Before mounting the stereo, you must choose a location
following the guidelines above.
Trim the template and make sure it fits in the selected
1
location.
Secure the template to the selected location.
2
Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface, drill the
3
hole inside the corner of the dashed line on the template to
prepare the mounting surface for cutting.
Using a jigsaw or rotary tool, cut the mounting surface along
4
the inside of the dashed line indicated on the template.
If necessary, remove the sun cover from the stereo.
5
Place the stereo in the cutout to test the fit.
6
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of
7
the cutout.
After the stereo fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the
8
mounting holes on the stereo line up with the pilot holes on
the template.
If the mounting holes on the stereo do not line up, mark the
9
new pilot-hole locations.
Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface
10
and screw type, drill the pilot holes.
Remove the template from the mounting surface.
11
Connect the wiring harnesses and wires, while observing
12
polarity.
Place the mounting gasket on the back of the stereo À.

screws Â.
If necessary, secure the back of the stereo with a back strap
17
or brace (not included).
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.

Identification, page 2
Connecting to Power
When connecting the stereo to power, you must connect both
power wires. You should connect the yellow power wire directly
to the battery. This provides power to the stereo and a constant
trickle-power standby feed.
You should connect the red ignition wire to the same battery
through the ignition or another manual switch to turn the stereo
on and off. If you are not routing the red wire through the ignition
or another manual switch, you can connect the red wire to the
yellow wire, and connect them both to the positive (+) battery
terminal.
You must connect the power wires to the battery through a 15 A
fuse or a 15 A circuit breaker.
If it is necessary to extend the yellow power and black ground
wires, use 14 AWG (2.08 mm2) wire. For extensions longer than
1 m (3 ft.), use 12 AWG (3.31 mm²) wire. If it is necessary to
extend the red wire, use 22 AWG (0.33 mm2) wire.
