Access Under Mounting Location
Follow these steps to deck mount the GPS receiver when routing the cable
down through the mounting location:
1. Determine the best location, then test route the 20' (6 m) cable from
the mounting location to the control head.
NOTE:
Installation details may vary with unit configuration.
2. Mark the mounting location and drill a 3/4" (19 mm) hole for the
cable and cable plug. Route the cable.
3. Cover the cable hole with the receiver. Make sure the receiver is
flush on the surface and mark the two mounting holes with a pencil
or punch.
4. Move the receiver to the side and drill two pilot holes using a 9/64"
(3.5 mm) bit.
NOTE
: Remember to caulk or seal screw holes and drilled holes as needed to
protect your boat from water damage.
5. Align the GPS receiver screw holes over the pilot screw holes and
attach with the #8 - 1 1/4" Phillips head screws.
Hand tighten only!
NOTE:
If the mounting surface is thin and made of a lighter material, a backing
material may be needed below the mounting surface.
No Access Under Mounting Location
Follow these steps to deck mount the GPS receiver in a situation where you
must route the cable to the side because there is no space for a cable
underneath the mounting location.
1. Determine the best location, then test route the cable from the
mounting location to the control head.
NOTE:
AS-EC10 10' extension cables are available from Humminbird® if your
planned routing exceeds 20', (6 m). Maximum cable length, including extensions,
should not exceed 50' (16 m).
2. Confirm the cable length is good and route the cable from the
receiver to the control head. If holes are required to route the cable,
they must be 3/4" (19 mm) to allow for the cable connector. Secure
the NMEA pigtail with electrical tape.
NOTE:
Remember to caulk or seal screw holes and drilled holes as needed to
protect your boat from water damage.
