Eagle Electronics 502cDF manual Bracket Installation, Front

Bracket Installation

Mount the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearance behind the unit when it's tilted for the best viewing angle. This must be a location with a clear view of the sky, so the internal GPS antenna can lock-on to the satellite signals. You should also make sure there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power and transducer cables.

Holes in the bracket's base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting. You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin fiber- glass panels to reinforce the panel and secure the mounting hardware.

Front

Install the gimbal bracket. Position the bracket so the arms slope to-

ward the front of your unit.

Drill a 1-inch (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power and transducer cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the gimbal bracket location. This way, the bracket can be installed so that it covers the hole, holds the cables in position and results in a neat installation. Some customers prefer to mount the bracket to the side of the cable hole. It's a matter of personal preference.
