In-Dash Mounting the Control Head

If you are in-dash mounting the control head, start by placing the components on the surfaces where you intend to install them before installation. Make sure that the surfaces you have chosen provide adequate protection from wave shock, and that all cables can reach the control head.

NOTE: If a cable is too short for your application, extension cables are available. Call Humminbird® Customer Support at 1-800-633-1468 for more information.

Parts and tools specific to In-dash mounting are:

•Threaded rods and hardware

•In-dash mounting foam pads

•In-dash mounting template

•Reciprocating saw for cutting dash material

•Masking tape to hold mounting template in place.

1.Locate a suitable, flat area of the dash to mount the control head. The control head requires a depth of at least 4 inches (102 mm).

2.Tape the paper In-Dash Mounting template to the desired in-dash mounting location.

3.At a location inside the dotted line on the template, drill a hole large enough to insert blade of reciprocating saw. In addition, drill the 4 mounting hole locations using a 3/16" drill bit. Carefully begin cutting toward the dotted line, then follow the dotted line around the template. Remove the template when finished.

4.Insert and tighten the four threaded rods into the four threaded inserts located on the back side of the control head. Peel off the adhesive-backed foam pads and place them on the back of the control head; make sure you notice the difference between the longer top/bottom and shorter side pads.
