Mounting considerations
When selecting a mounting location, keep in mind the following points:
• Select a location where the screen can be viewed conveniently while facing the bow.
• Locate the unit out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources because of heat that can build
up inside the cabinet.
• Locate the unit away from places subject to water splash and rain.
• Leave sufficient space on the sides and rear of the unit to facilitate maintenance, referring to the
outline drawing for maintenance space.
• The monitor unit will give interference to a magnetic compass if it is placed too close to the com-
pass. Observe the compass safe distances on page ii to prevent interference to the compass.
Mounting procedure
