Installation
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.
Parts and tools specific to In-dash mounting are:
• Threaded rods and hardware
• In-dash mounting foam pads
• In-dash mounting template
• Reciprocating saw for cutting dash material
• Masking tape to hold mounting template in place.
1. Locate a suitable, flat area of the dash to mount the control head. The control head
requires a depth of at least 4 inches (102 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
blade of reciprocating saw. In addition, drill the 4 mounting hole locations using a 3/16"
drill bit. Carefully begin cutting toward the dotted line, then follow the dotted line
around the template. Remove the template when finished.

Place a washer, lock washer, and wing nut onto each threaded rod and tighten fully.
6. Thread the cables through the opening in the back of the cable collector cover.
7. Insert cable connectors into the proper recesses on the cable collector insert. The cable
connectors are keyed to prevent reverse installation, so be careful not to force the
connectors into the wrong slots. If you don’t have a cable for every hole in the insert,
install the blank plugs to protect the control head from the weather.
8. Line up the cable collector insert and cover, with the keying feature, then slide the
cover into place on the insert.

together and create a cleaner assembly.
