Attaching the Sensor to the Bracket

1. Feed the cable through the mounting bracket (see Figure 3).
2. Align the word ‘FORWARD’ pointing forward and parallel to the centerline of the

vehicle/boat while holding the gasket firmly against the sensor.
a. Studs—Push the studs through the mounting bracket. Fasten the sensor to

the bracket with a flat washer, a lock washer, and a thumb nut (with the metal
side against the washer) on each stud. Hand-tighten only. Do not over
tighten.

b. Screws—Place the sensor on the bracket, being sure the screw holes in both

the sensor and the gasket are aligned. From the underside of the bracket,
fasten the sensor with the two flat washers, lock washers, and brass machine
screws supplied.

3. Be sure the word ‘FORWARD’ on the sensor is pointing forward and parallel to

the centerline of the vehicle/boat. To prevent the sensor from rotating after it is
aligned in the bracket, fasten the 1/2" pan-head set-screw into the most
convenient of the two alternative holes.
