CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION 

 

CONTROL HEAD INSTALLATION 

 

Step One - Determine Where to Mount 

 

Begin the installation by determining where to mount the control head. Consider 
the following to determine best location: 

 

• 

The cables for power, transducer and temp/speed accessories (if applicable) 
should be installed first and must reach the mounting location. Extension 
cables are available. 

 

• 

There are two ways to route the cables to the unit: through a 
hole in the mounting surface underneath the mounting bracket 
or from a hole outside the mounting bracket. Routing the cables 
down under the mount provides maximum weather protection; 
however this is not always feasible if the area under the 
fishfinder is inaccessible. In this case, route the cables through 
a hole at another location and cover with the supplied hole 
cover. 

 

• 

The mounting surface should be adequately supported to 
protect the fishfinder from excessive wave shock and vibration, 
and provide visibility while in operation. 

 

• 

The mounting area should allow sufficient room for the unit to 
pivot and swivel freely, and for easy removal and installation 
(Figures 18-19).

 

 

Step Two - Connect the Power Cable to the Boat 

 
A 6’ (2m) long power cable is included to supply power to the 
fishfinder. You may shorten or lengthen the cable using 18 gauge 
multi-stranded copper wire. 

 

CAUTION: Some boats have 24 or 36 volt electric systems. Be 
sure your unit is connected to a 12 VDC power supply.

 

 

The Power can be connected to the boat's electrical system at two 
places: a fuse panel, usually located near the console, or directly to the battery. 

 

If a fuse terminal is available, use crimp-on type electrical connectors (not 
included) that match the terminal on the fuse panel. Attach the black wire to 
ground, and the red wire to 12 VDC power (Figure 20). Be sure to use a one amp
