Important Notes
• Before final installation, test the wiring connections to make sure the unit is connected
properly and the system works.
• Use only the parts included with the unit to ensure proper installation. The use of
unauthorized parts can cause malfunctions.
• Consult with your nearest dealer if installation requires the drilling of holes or other
modifications to your vessel.
• Install the unit where it does not interfere with driving and cannot injure passengers if
there is a sudden or emergency stop.
• Avoid installing the unit where it will be subject to high temperatures from direct sunlight,
hot air, or from a heater, or where it would be subject to excessive dust, dirt or vibration.
• Install the unit within 30° of the horizontal plane.
DIN Front Mount
1. Check the dashboard opening size by sliding the radio into it. If the opening is not large
enough, carefully cut or file as necessary until the radio easily slides into the opening.
Check that there will be sufficient space behind the dashboard for the radio chassis. Use
the included drilling template to prepare the opening on a new mounting surface.
2. Place the radio in front of the dashboard opening so the wiring can be brought through the
DIN opening.
3. Follow the wiring diagram carefully and make certain all connections are secure and
insulated with crimp connectors or electrical tape to ensure proper operation.
4. After completing the wiring connections, turn the unit on to confirm operation (vehicle
accessory switch must be on). If the unit does not operate, recheck all wiring until the
problem is corrected. Once proper operation is achieved, turn the accessory switch off
and proceed with final mounting of the chassis.
5. Carefully slide the radio into the dashboard making sure it is right-side-up.
6. Attach one end of the Perforated Support Strap (supplied) to the Rear Support Stud on
the rear of the chassis using the M5 Mounting Nut provided. Fasten the other end of the
perforated strap to a secure part of the dashboard either above or below the radio using
the screw and plain washer provided. Bend the strap, as necessary, to position it.
CAUTION: The perforated rear support strap must be used in the installation of the
radio. Installation without the strap may result in damage to the radio or the
mounting surface and void the manufacturer’s warranty.
7. Install the six #6 Stainless Steel Mounting Screws through the front of the radio into the
dashboard.
CAUTION: Radio must be secured using all 6 mounting points. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the radio or dashboard.
8. Test radio operation by referring to the operating instructions for the unit.
Reconnect Battery
When wiring is complete, reconnect the battery negative terminal.
