AND CABLING.

1. Check the selected location for the unit. A clear, flat area with suitable clear-

ance behind the panel, is required.

2. Attach the template included with the flush mount kit to the selected loca-

tion, using masking or self-adhesive tape, taking care that it is level.

3. Use a hole saw to make a pilot hole in each corner of the cut-out area.
4. Using a suitable saw, cut along the inside edge of the cut-out line.
5. Detach the mount frame from the unit by removing the four mounting screws. 

Make sure that the unit fits in the area that has been cut out.

6. Drill four 3/16 in (4.5

 

mm) holes as indicated on the template to accept the 

retaining bolts.

7. Place the gasket onto the display unit.
8. Connect the cables to the display, avoiding tight bends.
9. Slide the unit into the console and secure using the included hardware.

2.2 Cable Runs

When installing system cables consider the following:
• All cables should be adequately secured, protected from physical damage and 

exposure to heat. Avoid running cables through bilges or doorways, or close 
to moving or hot objects.

• Avoid acute bends.
• Where a cable passes through an exposed bulkhead or deckhead, a water-

tight feed-through should be used.

• Secure cables in place using tie-wraps or lacing twine. Coil any extra cable 

and tie it out of the way.

• Do not pull cables through a bulkhead or deckhead using a cord attached to 

the connector. This could damage the connections.
