Deck Mount - Cable Side, No Access Underneath
Follow these steps to deck mount the WSL antenna in a situation where you must route
the cable to the side because there is no space for a cable underneath the mounting loca-
tion:
1. Determine the best mounting location, then make sure that there is sufficient cable
to route to the fishfinder.
2. Place the mounting flange over the mounting location and mark through the three
mounting holes for drilling.
3. Remove the mounting flange and drill holes using a
⁹₆₄
" (3.5 mm) drill bit.
4. Break out the marked tab on the bottom side, outer rim of the mounting flange.
5. Pre-assemble the mounting flange, mounting bolt, and gasket with the WSL, routing the cable through all compo-
nents; tighten the WSL antenna until its base is in contact with the gasket, making certain that the notch in the
mounting bolt is aligned with the breakout tab in the mounting flange.
6. Position the WSL in the mounting location and secure the flange with three #8 x
⁵₈
" flat head screws. To access all
screws you will need to rotate the WSL. When finished, secure tightly.
7. Determine a hole location where access for cable routing is available.
8. Drill a
⁵₈
" (15 mm) hole at this location and route the cable through the hole.
9. Install the escutcheon plate at this location with two #8 x
⁵₈
" flat head screws.
10. Route the cable to the control head.
Connecting the WSL to the Control Head
1a. Attach the WSL to your control head COM port using the longer, male end of the cable from the WSL.
Or…
1b. If you are already using another accessory plugged into the COM connector, you can attach the WSL to the already-
attached accessory's extra cable.
Or…
1c. If you have a GPS receiver plugged into the control head, you must use the AS-YC ("Y") cable that was included in
your GPS Hardware Kit so that you can use both the accessories and your GPS receiver at the same time. Attach the
COM connector of the "Y" cable directly to your control head COM port. Attach the GPS receiver to the NMEA-COM
connector of the "Y" cable and re-connect your accessories to the ACCY-COM connector of the "Y" cable.
2. Power up the control head (see your control head Operation Manual for details).
3. When the control head detects the WSL, the SmartCast WSL View will be added automatically to the VIEW key func-
tion. A SmartCast WSL menu choice will be added to the Accessory menu tab, and the WSL X-Press menu will also
be added automatically to the Menu system.
