Drilling Mounting Area Location
IMPORTANT: When selecting the mounting area for the remote control, the area directly behind the mounting panel must
have sufficient clearance for control module, wiring harness, control cables, and control cable movement. Refer to the
required mounting clearances.
IMPORTANT: Allow sufficient clearance for the handle movement to avoid interference with boat components or other
accessories. Ensure the control handle clears the dash, seats, steering wheel, and any other obstructions when rotating the
control handle.
1. Remove the cutout template page located at the end of these installation instructions.
2. Ensure the area of the boat where the remote control will be mounted is clear of obstructions and wiring prior to drilling
the mounting area.
3. Place the cutout template onto the control mounting surface. Secure the cutout template to the desired location with
adhesive tape.
