Mounting Considerations
• The stereo must be mounted in a location where there is enough clearance
for the open door of the stereo as indicated on the template.
• The stereo must be mounted in a location that allows open airflow around
the rear of the stereo for heat ventilation.
• The stereo must be mounted within 45° of the horizontal plane.
2
• The cable should have a drip loop to allow water to drip down off the cable
and avoid damaging the stereo.
• If you want to mount the stereo outside the boat, it must be mounted in a
location well above the waterline, where it is not submerged.
• If you want to mount the stereo outside the boat, it should be mounted in a
location where it will not be damaged by a docks, pilings, or other pieces of
equipment.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the stereo should be
installed at least 15 cm (5.9 in.) away from a compass.
Mounting the Stereo
NOTICE
Be careful when cutting the hole to flush mount the stereo. There is only a
small amount of clearance between the case and the mounting holes, and
cutting the hole too large could compromise the stability of the stereo after it is
mounted.
Before mounting the stereo, you must choose a location following the
guidelines above.
1
Trim the template and make sure it fits in the selected location.
2
Secure the template to the selected location.
3
Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting surface, drill the hole inside
the corner of the dashed line on the template to prepare the mounting
surface for cutting.
4
Using a jigsaw or rotary tool, cut the mounting surface along the inside of
the dashed line indicated on the template.
5
If necessary, remove the sun cover from the stereo.
6
Place the stereo in the cutout to test the fit.
7
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine the size of the cutout.
8
After the stereo fits correctly in the cutout, ensure the mounting holes on
the stereo line up with the pilot holes on the template.
9
If the mounting holes on the stereo do not line up, mark the new pilot-hole
locations.
10
Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the mounting surface and screw
type, drill the pilot holes.
11
Remove the template from the mounting surface.
12
Connect the wiring harnesses and wires, while observing polarity.
13
Place the mounting gasket on the back of the stereo
.
