1. Plan the Mounting Location
Start by locating a suitable, flat area of the dashboard for mounting. Consider the following to find the best
mounting location:
•
Stability:
The mounting area should be protected from waves, shock, vibration, and water.
•
Depth:
The control head requires a depth of at least 3 inches (76 mm).
•
Accessibility:
The location should be easily accessible for all cables to reach the ports on the back of
the control head.
NOTE:
If a cable is too short for your application, extension cables are available. For assistance, contact Humminbird
Customer Service.
2. Cut the In-Dash Mounting Hole
To in-dash mount the PiranhaMAX control head, start by placing the components on the surfaces where you
intend to install them.
1. Review the instructions, measurements, and cutting options indicated on the In-Dash Mounting
Template.
2. Tape the template to the chosen in-dash mounting location.
3. Using the template, select the cutting method that is best for your boat:
• Drill one entry hole away from the main cut line that is large enough to insert the blade of your
cutting tool.
OR
• Using a 3/8" drill bit, drill the 4 corner holes (inside the main cut line) as shown on the template.
Use one of the corner holes as an entry hole, or drill an additional entry hole away from the main
cut line.
4. Carefully begin cutting toward the cut line, and continue cutting to the
inside of the line
around the
template.
