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 ,
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 be damaged by docks, pilings, or other pieces of
equipment.
• To avoid interference with a magnetic compass, the stereo should be
installed at l east 15 em (5.9 in.) away from a compass.
Mounting the Stereo in a New Location
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.
Before you can mount the stereo in a new l ocation 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 appropr i ate for the mounting surface, drill a hole inside the
corner of the dashed line on the template to prepare the mount i ng 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 to test the fit.
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 moun ti ng 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 t emplat e from the moun t ing surface.
11 Make the necessary wiring connections (Connection Cons i dera t ions,
page 3).

2 If necessary, remove the existing wiring harness or install a veh i cl e· or
vessel-specific wiring-harness adap t er (not included) to provide access to
the power and speaker wiring.
