INSTALLING THE DISPLAY
2:
Cruiser instruments are waterproof when panel mounted and are designed
for open cockpit mounting.
Select a convenient position for the display on a panel or bulk head.
The site must be flat and the cavity behind the panel must remain dry at all times.
(The cable entry boss is not sealed to allow free passage of air to and from the
unit. This prevents misting of the display.)
The positions for the fixing holes can be marked on the panel using the drill tem-
plate which is an integral part of the packing carton. Before drilling check that
there is sufficient space behind the panel to route the cables and to allow access
to tighten up the wing fixing nuts.
Drill the five holes and check that the unit fits. It may be wise to connect the
cables before finally fixing the unit in position.
A sponge rubber seal is provided which should be fitted into the slot in the back
of the instrument.
Fit the instrument into the panel and tighten up the four wing nuts finger tight only.
It is important that the sponge rubber seal makes good contact with the panel or
water may get behind the unit and enter the cavity behind the panel.
