3. Installing the Unit
Selecting the Location
Location of the panel varies.
Before you begin installation of the remote control panel,
verify that you have sufficient clearance in the desired
location. Note that 2.5 inches of mounting depth (behind the
mounting surface) is required to avoid cable damage. A flat
surface is required in order to ensure a watertight seal when
installation is complete.
WARNING!
Before cutting any panel, ALWAYS
ensure that there is sufficient clearance
behind the panel, and that no wire
harnesses, fuel lines, moving linkages,
or any other critical components are
exposed to damage by your choice of
location. NEVER risk damage to the hull
while cutting your opening.
Prepare the boat for installation by carefully removing interior
trim panels as necessary. Route wire harnesses away from
sharp edges, and ensure that no harnesses will be pinched
or pierced during reassembly.
