Mounting location
Choose the mounting locations carefully before you drill or cut. The display should be
mounted so that the operator can easily use the controls and clearly see the display screen.
Be sure to leave a direct path for all of the cables. Simrad displays are high-contrast and
anti-re ective, and are viewable in direct sunlight, but for best results install the display out
of direct sunlight. The chosen location should have minimal glare from windows or bright
objects.
Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in
doubt, consult a quali ed boat builder.
Before cutting a hole in a panel, make sure that there are no hidden electrical wires or other
parts behind the panel.
Do not mount any part where it can be used as a hand hold, where it might be submerged, or
where it will interfere with the operation, launching or retrieving of the boat.
If bracket mounting the display choose an area where the display will not be subjected to
excessive vibration.
The mounting location will a ect the internal GPS receiver. Ensure you test the unit in it’s
intended location to ensure satisfactory reception. An external GPS source may be added to
overcome poor reception areas.
Leave su cient clearance space to connect all relevant cables.
Good ventilation is required. Poor ventilation may cause the display to overheat.
Simrad displays are designed to operate in temperatures from -15° C to +55° C (+5° F to +131°
F).
For overall width and height requirements, please see the dimensions section on page 55.
