Installing the Fishfinder 340C > Mounting the Fishfinder

Mounting the Fishfinder

There are two possible installation methods for your Fishfinder:

•You can mount the Fishfinder onto a bracket that attaches to the console or overhead.

•You can flush mount the Fishfinder into a flat panel.

Surface Mounting the Fishfinder

The Fishfinder 340C’s compact, waterproof case is suitable for mounting in exposed locations or at the nav station. The Fishfinder comes with a tilt/swivel mounting bracket that can be used for console or overhead mounting.

Mounting the Bracket Assembly

Tools (not included)—drill, screwdriver (Phillips or standard), and one of the following:

•Three #8 (4 mm) pan-head machine bolts with matching nuts and washers and a 5/32" (5 mm) drill bit.

•Three #8 pan-head self-tapping screws and a 1/16" drill bit for drilling starter holes.

Use a pan-head machine bolt or self-tapping screw to secure the swivel base. If you use a screw with a countersunk head, you risk damaging the mounting bracket.

OK

To mount the bracket assembly:

1.Using the swivel base as a template, mark the location of the three holes that secure the bracket to the mounting surface.

2.Drill the mounting holes.

•If you secure the base with machine bolts, drill three 5/32" (5 mm) holes at the locations you marked.

•If you secure the base with self-tapping screws, drill starter holes at the locations you marked. Do not make the starter holes deeper than half the screw length.

3.Secure the swivel base with three bolts or screws. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

4.Place the swivel mount bracket over the swivel base and secure it with the short knob.
