CAUTION:
Make sure there are no hidden electrical wires or other items behind the
location before proceeding. Make sure there is sufficient rear access for
mounting and cabling.
1. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear, flat area at least 9 in (230
mm) wide by 8¼ in (210 mm) high, with at least 6.9 in (176 mm) of clear-
ance behind the panel, is required.
2. Unpack the flush-mounting kit.
3. Using the supplied template, trace out the display unit opening.
4. Drill a ½ in (12.7 mm) pilot hole in each corner of the cut-out area.
5. Using a suitable saw, cut along the inside edge of the cut-out line.
6. Remove the mounting bracket knobs and bracket from the display unit.
Make sure that the unit fits in the cut-out area.
If the optional screw fitting is required, drill four 3/16 in (5 mm) holes as
indicated on the template.
Screw the studs into the holes provided at the rear of the display.
7. Connect the DC power cable, HSB cable, transducer cable, and any other
accessory cables to the display. Avoid tight bends in the cables.
8. Place the gasket on the unit and slide the unit into the panel cut-out.
9. Use the flush-mounting kit to secure the unit to the console.
Alternatively, place a spacer over each of the four studs and secure with
the thumb nuts.
2.6 Mounting the Sounder Module
The DSM250 can be installed either above or below deck using the supplied
hardware.
CAUTION:
Do not mount the DSM250 in the engine compartment.
To allow for proper water drainage and ease of cable connection, the DMS250
should be mounted vertically, so that the cables can hang below the unit, as in
Figure 2-7
.
A mounting template is provided at the end of this handbook.
➤
To mount the DSM250:
1. Attach the template (or hold the module itself) in the location where you
want to mount the unit, making sure it is perpendicular to the floor.
2. If not using the template, use a pencil to mark the location of the four key
holes onto the mounting surface.
