 Run all ground (earth) leads to a common 

 Do not get the leads trapped under a screw, or 

caught in moving parts (e.g., seat railing).

 Before making connections, turn the boat’s 

ignition off to avoid short circuits.

 Connect the yellow and red power supply leads 

only after all other leads have been connected.

 Be sure to insulate any loose unconnected leads 

with electrical tape for safety.

 Choose the installation location carefully so that 

the unit will not interfere with normal boating or 
car driving operations.

 Avoid installing the unit in areas subject to dust, 

dirt, excessive vibration, or high temperature, 
such as in direct sunlight or near heater ducts.

 Select carefully the mounting location to avoid 

internal damage by water entering the unit. Areas 
subject to water splashes should be avoided. The 
Waterproof Car Stereo Cover (not supplied) is 
recommended.

 Use only the supplied mounting hardware for a 

safe and secure installation.

Note on the power supply lead (yellow)
When connecting this unit in combination with other 
stereo components, the amperage rating of the boat 
circuit to which the unit is connected must be higher 
than the sum of each component’s fuse amperage 
rating.

Adjust the mounting angle to less than 45°.
