Mounting Considerations
The fishfinder device can be mounted using the included swivel-

mount bracket, or it can be mounted flush with the dashboard 

using the appropriate flush-mount kit (sold separately).
Before permanently installing any part of your device, you 

should plan the installation by determining the location of the 

various components.
• The mounting location must provide a clear view of the 

screen and access to the keys on the device.

• The mounting location must be sturdy enough to support the 

device and the mount.

• The cables must be long enough to connect the components 

to each other and to power.

• The cables can be routed under the swivel mount or behind 

the device.

• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device 

should not be installed closer to a compass than the 

compass-safe distance value listed in the product 

specifications.

Installing the Swivel Base
Preparing to Run Cables under the Mounting Surface

NOTICE

Use pan-head screws or bolts when securing the swivel-mount 

base. Screws or bolts with countersunk heads damage the 

base.

Before you can prepare the swivel-mount base, you must 

choose the location to install the mount and decide whether to 

attach the mount using screws or bolts.
Remove the 10 mm M6x1 Phillips screw 

À

 and separate the 

swivel mount 

Á

 from the base 

Â

.

Orient the swivel base so the pass-through holes 

Ã

 face the 

desired direction.

Using the swivel base as a template, mark the pilot hole 

locations 

Ä

.

Mark the cable routing hole 

Å

.

Using the appropriate drill bit for the hardware, drill the three 

pilot holes.

Using a 5/8 in. (16 mm) drill, drill a hole through the mounting 

surface at the location you marked in step 4.

Fastening the Swivel Mount without the Cables 

Running through the Mount
You should complete this procedure only if you are not running 

the power and transducer cables under the mounting surface 

and through the swivel-mount base.
