Inside the boat there is often a channel or conduit used for other wiring, this can be used to route cables. Be sure to route the cable as far as practical from the antenna cable of VHF radios or tachometer cables to reduce the possibility of interference. The GPS receiver cable should not be cut, and care should be used not to damage the cable insulation.

Basic installation tasks that you must perform include:

•Installing the control head (choosing either gimbal or in-dash mounting, where in-dash mounting requires a separate purchase)

•Installing the GPS Receiver (if included)

•Testing the complete installation.

NOTE: Accessories may require a separate purchase. You can visit our website at www.humminbird.com to order these accessories online or contact our Customer Resource Center at 1-800-633-1468.

Control Head Installation

You have two choices for mounting your 900 Series™ control head, Gimbal mounting, where you use a surface on the boat, such as the dash, to mount the control head so that it can be tilted up or down, or In-dash mounting, which requires a separate purchase.

Gimbal Mounting the Control Head

If you are gimbal mounting the Humminbird® 900 Series™, you can pre- assemble the unit in order to plan the best mounting location.
