What's In the Box
• Mounting gasket
• Mounting template
• Four 8-gauge, self-tapping screws
• Two screw covers
• Power, speaker, line-out, and subwoofer-out
wiring harness
Tools Needed
• Phillips screwdriver
• Electric drill
• Drill bit (size varies based on surface material and
screws used)
• Rotary cutting tool or jigsaw
• Silicone-based marine sealant (optional)
Mounting Considerations
• The stereo must be mounted on a flat surface.
• The stereo must be mounted in a location that
allows open airflow around the rear of the stereo
for heat ventilation.
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that
may be exposed to water, it must be mounted
within 45 degrees of the horizontal plane.
• If you are installing the stereo in a location that
may be exposed to water, the cable should have
a drip loop to allow water to drip down off the
cable and avoid damage to the stereo.
• If you need to mount the stereo outside a boat, it
must be mounted in a location far above the
waterline, where it is not submerged.
• If you need to mount the stereo outside a boat, it
should be mounted in a location where it cannot
2
be damaged by docks, pilings, or other pieces of
equipment.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass,
the stereo should be installed at least 10 cm
(3.9 in.) away from a compass.
Mounting the Stereo
NOTICE
Be careful when cutting the hole to mount the stereo.
There is only a small amount of clearance between
the case and the mounting holes, and cutting the hole
too large could compromise the stability of the stereo
after it is mounted.
Be careful when installing the stereo in an aluminum
boat or a boat with a conductive hull, if you require
the electrical system to be isolated from the boat hull.
Do not apply grease or lubricant to the screws when
fastening the stereo to the mounting surface. Grease
or other lubricants can cause damage to the stereo
housing.
Before you can mount the stereo in a new location on
the mounting surface, you must select a location in
accordance with the mounting considerations.
1
Trim the template and make sure it fits at the
mounting location.
2
Adhere the template to the mounting surface.
3
Using a drill bit appropriate for the mounting
surface, drill a hole inside the corner of the
dashed line on the template to prepare the
mounting surface for cutting.
4
Using a rotary-cutting tool, cut the mounting
surface along the inside of the dashed line on the
template.
5
Place the stereo in the cutout
6
If necessary, use a file and sandpaper to refine
the size of the cutout.
7
After the stereo fits correctly in the cutout, ensure
the mounting holes on the stereo line up with the
pilot holes on the template.
8
If the mounting holes on the stereo do not line up,
mark the new pilot-hole locations.
9
Using an appropriately sized drill bit for the
mounting surface and screw type, drill the pilot
holes.
10
Remove the template from the mounting surface.
11
Make the necessary wiring connections.
12
Select an option:
• If you are installing the stereo in a dry
location, place the included mounting gasket
on the back of the stereo.
• If you are installing the stereo in a location
that is exposed to water, apply silicone-based
marine sealant on the mounting surface
around the cutout.
NOTICE
Do not install the included mounting gasket if
you applied sealant to the mounting surface.
Using sealant and the mounting gasket may
reduce water resistance.
13
Place the stereo into the cutout.
14
Secure the stereo to the mounting surface using
the included screws
.
to test the fit.
