Display Installation
Mounting location
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The display should be
mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display screen.
Be sure to leave a direct path for all of the cables. The display screen is high-contrast and anti-
reective, and is viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results install the display out of direct
sunlight. The chosen location should have minimal glare from windows or bright objects.
Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in
doubt, consult a qualied marine electronics installer.
The mounting location should be at least 100 mm (4”) away from the compass, at least 300
mm (12”) away from any radio transmitter and at least 1.2 m (4 ft) away from any antenna.
Before cutting a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other
parts behind the panel.
Do not mount any part where it could be used as a hand hold, where it might be submerged or
where it will interfere with the operation, launching or retrieving of the boat.
If bracket mounting, chose a at area where the display will not be subjected to excessive
vibration.
Leave sufcient clearance space behind the display to connect all relevant cables.
Good ventilation is required behind the mounting panel. Poor ventilation may cause the
display to overheat. The display is designed to operate in temperatures from -15° C to +55° C
(+5° F to +131° F).
For overall width and height requirements, please see the drawings at the back of this manual.
