nents to install, the display unit and the trans-

There are two mounting arrangements:
• 
Flush mounting requires a solid panel with 
access behind for wiring and mounting screws. 
After flush mounting, the FISH 4500/4600 
cannot be tilted or moved after installation 
to reduce any unwanted glare or reflections. 
Carefully select the best viewing position before 
installation. This would generally be in a shaded 
area.
• 
Bracket mounting requires a panel for mount-
ing the bracket. Ensure that the panel is not 
likely to deform and is not subject to excessive 
vibration. The bracket can be tilted and rotated 
so the FISH 4500/4600 can be removed after 
each use.
Select a position where the display unit will be:
• 
At least 4” (100 mm) away from the com-
pass.
• 
At least 12” (300 mm) away from any radio 
transmitter.
• 
At least 4 ft. (1.2 m) away from any antenna.
• 
Easy to read by the helmsman and crew

Flush Mounting

the back of the display unit.
4. Sit the display unit in place and fit the 
washers and nuts to the studs.
Bracket Mounting
1. Fix the mounting bracket onto the boat using the 
three stainless steel screws. Do not overtighten the 
screws, as the bracket may not rotate.
2. Push the display unit onto the mounting 
bracket and tighten it firmly using the knob on 
the mounting bracket.
