Surface Mounting the Device

You can mount the device on the surface using only a passthrough hole for the cable if you do not want to cut a larger hole to flush mount it.

NOTE: The image used in this procedure shows a vertical version of the device. The same steps apply for the horizontal version.
  1. Trim the included template and make sure it fits in the location where you want to mount the device.
  2. Secure the template to the mounting location.
  3. Using a 20 mm (13/16 in.) drill bit, drill the cable passthrough hole indicated on the template.
  4. Place the included spacer Callout number 1 on the back of the device.

  5. Place the included ring gasket Callout number 2 around the connector on the back of the device.
  6. Place the device against the surface test the fit of the cable connector.
    TIP: If you first route the NMEA 2000® drop cable through the passthrough hole and connect it to the back of the device, you can more-accurately test the fit.
  7. If necessary, use a file or sandpaper to refine the size of the hole.
  8. Ensure the mounting holes on the device line up with the pilot holes on the template.
  9. If the mounting holes on the device do not line up with the pilot holes on the template, mark the new pilot-hole locations on your template.
  10. Remove the device and template from the mounting surface.
  11. Using a 2 mm (5/64 in.) drill bit, drill the pilot holes.
  12. If you will not have access to the back of the device after you mount it, route the NMEA 2000 drop cable through the hole, and connect it to the port on the device Callout number 3.
  13. Place the device and spacer against the surface, aligning the pilot holes.
  14. Secure the device to the mounting surface using the included self-tapping, countersunk wood screws Callout number 4.
    NOTE: Two lengths of screws are included in the product package. You should use the longer set of screws when surface mounting the device.
  15. Snap the trim caps Callout number 5 into place.
