Important Safety Information
WARNING
See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the
product box for product warnings and other important
information.
When connecting the power cable, do not remove the in-line
fuse holder. To prevent the possibility of injury or product
damage caused by fire or overheating, the appropriate fuse
must be in place as indicated in the product specifications. In
addition, connecting the power cable without the appropriate
fuse in place voids the product warranty.
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.
To obtain the best performance and to avoid damage to your
boat, install the device according to these instructions.
Read all installation instructions before proceeding with the

Tools Needed
• Drill
• Drill bits
◦ Bail mount: drill bits appropriate for the surface and
hardware
◦ Swivel mount: 3 mm (1/8 in.) drill bit
◦ Flush mount: 3 mm (1/8 in.) and 9.5 mm (3/8 in.) drill bits
• #2 Phillips screwdriver

Mounting Considerations
The device can be mounted using the included bracket, or it can
be mounted flush with the dashboard using a flush-mount kit
(may be 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 bail 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.
Installing the Swivel Base
Fastening the Swivel Mount without the Cables Running through the Mount
You should complete this procedure only if you are not running
the power and transducer cables under the mounting surface
and through the swivel-mount base.
Place the base À on the mounting surface, and fasten it
1
using the appropriate screws or bolts Á.

M6×1 Phillips screw.
Seal the cable pass-through holes with marine sealant.

Preparing to Run Cables under the Mounting Surface
NOTICE
Use pan-head screws or bolts when securing the swivel-mount
base. Screws or bolts with countersunk heads damage the
base.
Before you can prepare the swivel-mount base, you must
choose the location to install the mount and decide whether to
attach the mount using screws or bolts.
Remove the 10 mm M6x1 Phillips screw À and separate the
1
swivel mount Á from the base Â.
Fastening the Swivel Mount with the Cables Running through the Mount
You should complete this procedure only when running the
power and transducer cables under the mounting surface and
through the swivel-mount base.
Feed the cables through the 16 mm (5/8 in.) center hole you
1
drilled when preparing to run cables beneath the mounting
surface.
Place the base on the mounting surface.
2
Route the cables through the cable pass-through holes.
3
Loosely fasten the base using the appropriate screws or
4
bolts.
Place the swivel mount on the base, but do not fasten it.
5
Place the cradle or device into the swivel mount (Installing
6
the Device in the Cradle, page 4).
Pull out enough slack from the power and transducer cables
7
so the mount can fully swivel to the desired positions when
the cables are connected.
Remove the cradle and the swivel mount from the base.
8
Apply marine sealant to the 16 mm (5/8 in.) center hole and to
9
the cable pass-through holes.
Securely fasten the base with the appropriate screws or
10
bolts.
Place the swivel mount on the base, and fasten it using the
11
included 10 mm M6×1 Phillips screw.
Installing the Cradle in the Mount
Pull up the locking arm À.
1
Orient the swivel base so the pass-through holes à face the
2
desired direction.
Using the swivel base as a template, mark the pilot hole
3
locations Ä.
Mark the cable routing hole Å.
4
Using the appropriate drill bit for the hardware, drill the three
5
pilot holes.
Using a 16 mm (5/8 in.) drill bit, drill the cable-routing hole.

Installing the Cables and Connectors
Wiring to Power
Route the power cable from the mount to the boat battery or
1
fuse block.
If necessary, extend the wires using 0.82 mm2 (18 AWG) or
2
larger wire.
Connect the red wire to the positive terminal on the battery or
3
fuse block, and connect the black wire to the negative
terminal.
Wiring Harness
• The wiring harness is used for NMEA® 0183 devices, and to
share route and waypoint information.
• The wiring harness connects the device to power and NMEA
0183 devices.
• The device has one internal NMEA 0183 port that is used to
connect to NMEA 0183 compliant devices.
• If it is necessary to extend the power and ground wires, you
must use 0.82 mm2 (18 AWG) or larger wire.
