Determining the Mounting Location
The Ethernet Switch is designed to mount on any flat, level surface of your boat. Prior to installation,
you must first determine where to mount the Ethernet Switch.
1. Use a level to locate a suitable, flat area to mount the Ethernet Switch.
2. Place the Ethernet Switch in the desired mounting location and test the length of the Ethernet
cables (separate purchase required) to ensure that each cable will reach the Ethernet Switch.

Installing the Ethernet Switch
Once you have determined the mounting location, perform the following procedures to install the
Ethernet Switch on your boat.
1. Set the Ethernet Switch in place on the mounting surface. Mark the two mounting screw
locations with a pencil.
2. Set the Ethernet Switch aside, and drill the two mounting holes using a 9/64” drill bit.
NOTE:
On fiberglass hulls, it is best to use progressively larger drill bits to reduce the
chance of chipping or flaking the outer coating.
