Eagle Electronics FISHEASY 320C - Manual (Page 37)

This unit has reverse polarity protection. No damage will occur if the
power wires are reversed. However, the unit will not work until the
wires are attached correctly.
MOUNTING THE SONAR UNIT: In-Dash, Bracket or Portable
You can install the sonar unit on the top of a dash with the supplied
bracket. At the time of this printing, we do not produce an in-dash
mounting kit for the FishEasy 320C. If you wish to check on the future
availability of this kit, refer to the accessory ordering information in-
side the back cover of this manual.
Bracket Installation
Recommended tools for this job include: drill, 1" (25.4 mm) drill bit, screw-
driver. Required supplies for this job include: high quality, marine grade
above- or below-waterline caulking compound, three #10 stainless steel
screws. Screw length and type should be suitable for the material on which
you intend to mount the bracket.
Mount the unit in any convenient location, provided there is clearance
when it’s tilted for the best viewing angle. You should also make sure
there is enough room behind the unit to attach the power/transducer
cable. (See the following drawings, which show the dimensions of a
gimbal-mounted FishEasy 320C sonar unit.)
Holes in the bracket’s base allow wood screw or through-bolt mounting.
You may need to place a piece of plywood on the back side of thin pan-
els to reinforce the panel and secure the mounting hardware.
Drill a 1" (25.4 mm) hole in the dash for the power/transducer and ac-
cessory cables. The best location for this hole is immediately under the
gimbal bracket location. This way, the bracket can be installed so that
it covers the hole, holds the cables in position and results in a neat in-
stallation. Some customers, however, prefer to mount the bracket to the
side of the cable hole — it's a matter of personal preference.
