surface.
3. Drill 5/16" (7 mm) holes through the mounting surface at the marked
locations.
4. Align the mounting bracket holes with the holes on the mounting surface.
5. Use the screws and nuts supplied to attach the mounting bracket to the
mounting surface at the marked locations.
6. Attach the unit to the mounting bracket, adjust the display angle, and
tighten the knobs.
Console Mounting (optional)
The fishfinder may also be installed directly into the console. This requires
the purchase of an optional Flush Mount kit, Raymarine part number E66067
(for DS400X) or

location before proceeding. Make sure there is sufficient rear access for
mounting and cabling.
