Mounting continued

Bass Boats

: For any angler who spends the majority of the time fishing from

the bow of the boat, we recommend mounting the MAV Monitor, Footpad and

PowerSpool in the front (bow).  This lets you easily view the MAV monitor

while also running the trolling motor and casting.  The footpad is posi-

tioned near the trolling motor foot control (if applicable)-- in a front deck

location that allows for quick foot access.  In this case, the PowerSpool

can either be mounted on the forward gunnel (near the monitor), or on

the gunnel just forward from the console and windshield.  

Tiller Boats

:  Anglers who often fish

and control the boat from the stern (or
tiller) prefer to mount the MAV
Monitor on the rear console (near
other electronic devices), where it
is easily viewable.  The Footpad is
affixed to the floor, near the
usual foot position.  Meanwhile,
the PowerSpool can either be
mounted on a bow gunnel, or
just forward from the console.

Regardless of placement,
remember that the over-
sized LCD monitor offers a
picture large and clear enough
to be seen from anywhere in
the boat.  

Center or Side Console Fishing

Boats

:  For anglers who usually fish from the console position amid-

ships (i.e. trollers, or pleasure boaters), we recommend mounting the
MAV monitor on the console / dashboard, perhaps alongside your

depthfinder, behind the windshield.  In this case, it is best to mount the
Power Spool just forward from the windshield, or console, on the star-

board (right-hand side) gunwale.  If appropriate, given the space sur-

rounding your console area, you may also choose to mount the Power
Spool on the gunwale right next to your seated position at the con-
sole.  Finally, the footpad should again be mounted or placed where it
is easy to reach with your foot.
