Option 2 - Mount to a Vertical Surface
a. The vertical bracket allows you to mount the
sensor (within its horizontal bracket) either
perpendicular or parallel to the mounting
surface (see Figure 20). Be sure to orient the
vertical and horizontal brackets so that the
sensor’s forward (“FWD”) reference will
point toward the bow and will be parallel to
the vessel’s centerline within ±5º (see
Figure 18 on page 11). Also make sure the
sensor will be level with the deck.
b. Using the holes in the vertical bracket’s
mounting feet as a template, drill four 1/8"
(3.5 mm) holes in the mounting surface.
c. Secure the vertical bracket to the mounting
surface using four #8 screws and flat washers
d. Secure the horizontal bracket to the vertical
bracket using four #8 screws, eight flat
washers, eight fiber washers, and four self-
locking nuts (see Figure 21). The fiber washers
will isolate the sensor from ground.
e. Place the sensor onto the horizontal bracket
(see Figure 22). Make sure the sensor‘s
forward (“FWD”) reference points toward
the bow and its “Up” arrow points upward.
f. Secure the sensor to the horizontal bracket
using four #10-32 screws, lock washers, and
flat washers. Insert the screws into the four
T-nuts held within the sensor’s housing track.
