Some customers, however, prefer to mount the bracket to the side of the
cable hole — it's a matter of personal preference.

After drilling the hole, pass the power cable's bare-wire end down
though the hole from the top.

If you wish, you can fill in the hole around the cable with a good marine
caulking compound. (Some marine dealers stock cable hole covers to con-
ceal the opening.) No matter what type of installation you prefer, be sure
to leave enough slack in the cable to allow tilting or swiveling the Intel-
liMap 642c. If you choose to fill in the hole, be sure to position the cable
against the rear edge of the hole as you apply the fill material.

Before positioning the bracket, be sure to hold the cable against the
rear edge of the hole. Then, slide the bracket over the hole and butt the
rear of the bracket base firmly against the cable, thus pinning it in
place against the side of the hole. Finally, fasten the bracket to the
dash. Attach the unit to the gimbal bracket using the supplied gimbal
knobs and washers.

Portable Installation
Like many Eagle products, the IntelliMap 642c is capable of portable
operation by using an optional portable power pack (PPP). The power
