echo™ Installation Instructions Important Safety Information WARNING See the Important Safety and Product Information guide in the product box for product warnings and other important information. CAUTION Always wear safety goggles, ear protection, and a dust mask when drilling, cutting, or sanding. NOTICE When drilling or cutting, always check what is on the opposite side of the surface. • To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the device should not be installed closer to a compass than the compass-safe distance value listed in the product specifications. Installing the Swivel Base Preparing to Run Cables under the Mounting Surface NOTICE Use pan-head screws or bolts when securing the swivel-mount base. Screws or bolts with countersunk heads damage the base.

Å Mounting Considerations The fishfinder device can be mounted using the included swivelmount bracket, or it can be mounted flush with the dashboard using the appropriate flush-mount kit (sold separately). Before permanently installing any part of your device, you should plan the installation by determining the location of the various components. • The mounting location must provide a clear view of the screen and access to the keys on the device. • The mounting location must be sturdy enough to support the device and the mount. • The cables must be long enough to connect the components to each other and to power. • The cables can be routed under the swivel mount or behind the device. 5 Using the appropriate drill bit for the hardware, drill the three pilot holes. 6 Using a 5/8 in. (16 mm) drill, drill a hole through the mounting surface at the location you marked in step 4. Fastening the Swivel Mount without the Cables Running through the Mount You should complete this procedure only if you are not running the power and transducer cables under the mounting surface and through the swivel-mount base.
