Lowrance electronic LMF-200 manual Preparation, Recommended Tools and Supplies

Section 2: Installation

Preparation

When installed, the gauge will cover an area on the dash 2-3/8" (60.3

mm)in diameter. To mount the unit, first make sure there is at least 2- 3/4" (70 mm) from the front of the dash to any obstruction behind the dash. The maximum usable dash thickness is 1-1/8" (28.5 mm). Also, be sure there is room to route the network and buzzer cables. The following figure shows gauge dimensions.

You should read over the entire installation section before drilling any holes in your vessel!

Recommended Tools and Supplies

Recommended tools for this job include: hole saw, 2 1/8" (54 mm) hole saw bit, drill, 1/8" (3 mm) drill bit (for starter hole).

Other supplies are not included, unless otherwise indicated. If you need to route the gauge's network cable connector through a bulkhead, you will need a drill and a 3/4" drill bit.

If the dash does not have a standard 2-1/8" (54 mm) hole, you will need a drill or saw to make the hole. Carefully measure the dash thickness and the hole area before cutting or drilling.
