In addition to the hardware supplied with your In-Dash Mounting Kit, you will need a reciprocating saw for cutting the dash material and masking tape to hold the mounting template in place.

In-Dash Mounting

To in-dash mount the 300 Series™ control head, start by placing the components on the surfaces where you intend to install them before installation. Make sure that the surfaces you have chosen provide adequate protection from wave shock, and that all cables can reach the control head.

NOT E: If a cable is too short for your application, extension cables are available. Call Humminbird® Customer Support at 1-800-633-1468 for more information.

1. Locate a suitable, flat area of the dash to mount the control head. The control head requires a depth of at least 3 inches (76 mm).

2. Tape the paper In-Dash Mounting template to the desired in-dash mounting location.

3. At a location inside the dotted line on the template, drill a hole large enough to insert the blade of the reciprocating saw. Carefully begin cutting toward the dotted line, then follow the dotted line around the template. Remove the template when finished.

. Insert and tighten the two threaded rods into the two threaded inserts located on the back side of the

control head. Peel off the adhesive-backed foam pad and place it on the back of the control head.

5. Insert the control head through the mounting hole from the front side of the dash. From the back side of the dash, align the two threaded rods on the rear of the housing with the two holes on each in-dash mounting bracket. Place a lock washer onto each threaded rod, then secure brackets by placing a hex nut onto each threaded rod and tighten fully.

NOTE: Brackets will tend to rotate out when nuts are tightened. This is normal, but it is important not to overtighten nuts.

6. Insert cable connectors into the proper recesses on the cable collector. The cable connectors are keyed to prevent reverse installation, so be careful not to force the connectors into the wrong slots.

7. While holding cables in place in the cable collector, place retainer over cables and screw in place using the two Phillips screws provided.
