INSTALLATION

Before You Begin

Always disconnect the negative battery terminal

Important Notes

 Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected

properly and the system works.

 Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other

modifications to your vessel.

 Install the unit where it does not interfere with operating the vessel and cannot injure

passengers.

 Use the included template to cut the installation opening.

Commander Cover

 During storage, use the included cover to prolong the life of your device by protecting

the wired commander from direct sunlight, moisture, dust, and other elements.

Wired Commander Mounting

 Choose a mounting area for the wired commander that is clean and flat, allowing the

rear gasket to fully seal to the mounting surface.

 Secure the wired commander using either of the recommended mounting methods

detailed below.

Bracket Mount

 Insert wired commander through cut-out and secure with bracket using included

hardware as detailed in the diagram.

Bracket Mount

Screw Mount

 Secure the wired commander to the mounting surface using #6 stainless steel pan

head screws (not included) as detailed in the diagram.

Removing the Unit

To remove the commander, remove bracket mount or remove trim ring and mounting screws, then slide wired commander out of the mounting hole.

Removing the Trim Ring (Screw Mount Only)

Before removing the mounting screws, remove the trim ring first. Using a small non-metallic panel removal tool, apply the flat edge of the tool to the trim ring top latch area (as shown). Pull forward and twist to disengage the latches. Note: Use a protective surface under the removal tool so as not to damage the mounting surface.

Tuner / Amplifier Module Mounting

1. Choose a mounting area for the tuner/amplifier module that will provide plenty of ventilation to prevent the amplifier from overheating. The tuner/amplifier module can be mounted in the horizontal or vertical position. Please note that when mounting in vertical position, do not mount with the harness exit points facing straight up, as water can collect around the chassis in these areas.

2. Using the shortest length of the recommended size screws possible, mount the tuner/ amplifier as detailed in the diagram on the right.

3. Route the tuner/amplifier harness and cable throughout the vessel as required. Keep some slack in the harness/cables so it won't be too tight, as this can cause damage to the wires.

4. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secured with insulated crimp connectors to ensure proper operation.

5. After completing the wiring connections, reconnect the negative terminal on the battery and turn the unit on to confirm operation (vessel accessory switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, disconnect battery, recheck all wiring and refer to the trouble-shooting guide located in the back of the manual.
