and one amp fuse (not included) for the protection of the unit (Figure 21). Humminbird is 
not responsible for over voltage or over current failures. 

 

In order to minimize the potential for interference with other 
marine electronics a separate power source (such as a 
second battery) may be necessary. 

 

Step Three - Drill the Mounting Holes 

 
1.  Set the mounting bracket in place on the mounting 

surface. Mark the four mounting screw locations with a 
pencil or punch. 

 

2.  Set the mounting bracket aside, and drill the four 

mounting screw holes using a 9/64” (3.6mm) bit. 

 

Step Four - Run the Cables 

 

1.  If the cables must pass through a hole underneath the 

mounting surface, mark and drill a 1” (25mm) hole 
centered between the four mounting holes (Figure 22). 

 

Note: if the cables must pass through the mounting 
surface at a different location, drill the 1" (25mm) hole at 
that location and pass the cables through from 
underneath. Also, you must break out the tabs on the 
rear of the mounting base using needle nose pliers 
(Figures 24-25). 

 

2.  Insert all cables through the 1” (25mm) hole from beneath 

the mounting surface. 

 
3.  Pass the cables through the grommet (if the cable hole is 

underneath the mounting bracket) then press the grommet 
in place around the cables and into the 1” (25mm) hole. 

 

4.  Pass the cables through the mounting base, out the top of 

the mounting bracket. 

 

5.  Place the mounting bracket on the mounting surface aligned with the drilled holes. 

Insert the four flathead wood screws into the mounting holes and tighten fully (Figure 
23). 

 

Optional: If the cables pass outside the mounting bracket, install the hole cover 
over the hole and fasten in place using the two #8 x 7/8” (22mm) wood screws 
(Figure 24).
